Question: If we are poor predictors of our own happiness does that pose ramifications on how we treat humans and animals!?
Just saying that if can't predict our own happiness, does that have ramifications on how we ought to treat one another or how we ought to treat other animals

if you don't know what makes you happy, how do you know what will make others happyWww@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think it does!. There are plenty of incredibly happy people out there who treat others like crap, just as there are plenty of unhappy people who would give the shirt off their back to make another smile!.

Most of us find it easier to help others than to face our own problems!. So I don't think how we treat another person or animal is effected to the extent you suggest!. Perhaps we may become more withdrawn from others, or even more needy!.!.!. but in the end, we don't generally lose sight of what will hurt or bring happiness to another!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not necessarily!.

The unhappy more than likely be kinder to others and animals because by doing so they experience pleasure, and will be a little less unhappy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

We have to focus on them!.!.and study what makes them happy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
