I think the main logical flaw in your reasoning is that I didn't mention in the title, or elsewhere, that I meant over a period of several years. That is just your assumption. So given that you are right, which you have not proven btw, about the long term happiness, that would only answer one specific case of all possible periods of time that the question in the title addresses.So, in order to answer all possible interpretations of my initial question, you would have to present 1) proof of theorem about long term happiness and 2) back your answer "no" up with decent arguments for the cases where question didn't address period of several years.And even though this felt quite refreshing for the mind - maybe we should not go deeper into this subject, as I guess it - at least for most people - could be considered slightly off topic.:t::-O</blockquote>
