In the pursuit of happiness, are we seeking true fulfillment or just chasing fleeting pleasure?
🔹 Hedonia = Instant gratification, pleasure-seeking, avoiding discomfort. (Think: social media dopamine hits, mindless entertainment, consumerism.)
🔹 Eudaimonia = A deeper, purpose-driven happiness through virtue, wisdom, and self-mastery. (Think: lifelong learning, meaningful work, intellectual growth.)
Modern society pushes hedonia—quick fixes, distractions, and indulgence. But true human flourishing comes from eudaimonia—a life of purpose, resilience, and self-actualization.
🚨 The question is: Are you mastering your desires, or are your desires mastering you?
💡 Which path leads to a better life? What do you think—can we balance both? 🤔
