Have a little read: ... Throughout the ages, philosophers and thinkers have tried to seek and identify which qualities and virtues that we would consider to be a characteristic of a happy person, but none of them has a more logical and acceptable views about happiness, than Aristotle and Socrates. I think that Aristotle writes about virtue and happiness because; he believes that everyone seeks happiness and to obtain it, virtue is quite essential. In this paper, I will examine Aristotle's definitions of happiness, virtue and friendship and show why he talks about happiness the way he does. I will also compare Aristotle's definitions with those of Socrates' and with those of our contemporary society. Ultimately, I argue that Aristotle is correct to say that justice and friendship are the two most important aspects of happiness, since happiness is not contentment, but a way of being responsible for one's life with others. Aristotle begins
