If you could take a pill that had no cost or side effects but was guaranteed to make you happy for the rest of your life, would you? Why/not?


Something that'll make me happy whatever happens, that could remove all motivation to look after myself and those I (currently!) care about: no. Because I don't want to become that person even if it would be very pleasant to be him.

Something that puts me in a buoyant mood each day, that makes life a pleasure and smooths all the rough edges away, well, maybe. I'd like to become that person.


Any pill like that would make you not care about the side effects wouldn't it?
