Ok, I think seeing somebody else happy adds up to personal satisfaction, of course if I'm happy as well. That's because we think we're a part of other personal satisfaction?

yeah, no doubt, but sometimes it depends, as long as it's no harm to others

The most important thing in life is to have peace of mind, followed closely by personal satisfaction. Many would say this is the same thing, but I disagree. Peace of mind comes from doing what one knows is right, personal satisfaction is from doing what feels right at the moment.

i would say yes, a persons personal satisfaction is most important, some get this satisfaction by being a good partner, a good parent, citizen, reaching an altered state, one upmanship on others, etc , etc, but what makes us happy and satisfied with ourselves is what we strive for, and its most important to us
it might not be something positive for others, or even positive for ourselves,

I think a lot of people put personal satisfaction first. That's why there is such a great lack of morals in this country.

there are lots of people who get great delight from making others satisfied. mom and dad are a basic occasion of the "self-sacrifice" vital taught interior the Bible, volunteer missionaries could be an severe occasion. rather plenty all the principals found interior the Bible are in between those 2 extremes. So, definite, very own happiness may be the main needed element for me. (faith does not rely once you think in equality between human beings, yet i'm a backyard form Protestant.)

a very important thing in life may be personal satisfaction. depends on what level of life (social class, etc.) are you willing to deal with. i dont know if its the most important, because by this logic a drug addict may also be personally satisfied, in theory.

The most important thing in life is peace of mind - knowing that you have done the best you could, knowing that you have not deliberately hurt another (at least without making amends), and knowing that you are not perfect, but you are forgiven.

It's not THE most important thing in life. But it is important.

if that is true, then robbery would go up 60%. And premature sex would go up 90%.
