Suppose happiness is justice itself.

This is because happiness is a common good for lives and in social relationships.

We all are part of the same life. We all are seeking happiness, because we are life-forms while we must understand that each one has their own happiness.


It must be the best or the common good if each person is happy in society.

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, “Justice” means
“fairness in the way people are dealt with.”

Although there must be objections about the definition, this essay is being written based on that definition to simplify my argument.

So, if happiness is defined as justice in a society, people should be dealt with in the way they are/become equal and happy in it.
The entities who deal with people or who are dealt with would be, governments, schools, businesses firms, religious groups, ethnic groups, nations, individuals.

People should treat each other basically freely, to make ourselves and the others happy, fairly and equally in a positive sense, and not discriminating against each other.

Such fairness and equality should be highly respected, especially by government personnel or public servants as is often the case with business personnel to their customers. At the individual level, these subjects can be our friends or family members.

It’s another story if I can treat them equally.

To put it negatively, people should not kill and,- not injure each other terribly.
For example, no death penalty, no harsh punishments.

Lessons of religions and thoughts should be the ones that do not harm people.
However, if this is not possible, the government should positively protect and improve the lives, safety, and human rights of the people.

Thoughts and religions should take the highest priority in happiness rather than the other lessons within them.
For example, while there are lessons like "an eye for an eye" or "evil should be destroyed," we should take priority in lessons like "Love for love," "Condemn the crime rather than the criminal," "saving to the last man," "leave everything to the save-all force," "love your enemy," and "love one another."
Positively, people should be treated so that they can be and we can make them as happy as possible.

Here is a quote from the lyrics of Exile (Japanese pop group):

"It is love to wish for happiness"

When happiness and interest conflicts, it should be settled peacefully by adjustment, arbitration, mediation, substitution, sublation or intervention by force (to buffer the conflict).
For instance, there is an extreme example that ancient Roman citizens set lions on Christians in the arena for entertainment in "Justice: What Is Right Thing To Do."
In such a case, there should be an alternative form of amusement.
In this case, the situation should have been calmly reconsidered so that those Roman citizens who were seeking amusement could have had the martial art matches or shows offered.
(to the extent those fighters do not damage each other so badly).

Everyone is not absolutely wanting, desiring or requiring the objective itself. It is not absolute that you need to obtain what you exactly want, like, or to do what you exactly want to.
Rather, you can flexibly try to find something else, somebody else, something else to do.

At times, it is nice to definitely seek something that has no alternative to it. However, we can say it could be better for us not to stick to one thing. Rather, we should take our minds off, compromise, seek something else, or seek for the better at times.

It may require a little patience.
However, sometimes it could give us something better on the contrary.
Suppose you are extremely frustrated because you desperately want a luxury car like a TOYOTA Land Cruiser right now but can't afford it. Why don't you change your viewpoint and ask yourself as follows (I don't mean to deny seeking the best)?
"Do I need it right now? "
“Can't I save up some more money to get it?
" Can't it be another model or a different car?"
"To begin with, why do I want a car?
If I'm just trying to feel good, can't I do something else to gain that feeling? "

“Is there anything else I can do to take my mind off it?”

Chiemi Blouson, a female Japanese comedian says " There are 3.5 billion men on the earth (for a woman seeking a boyfriend)."
How many encounters can we expect if we don't stick to one specific person or can accept even an alien?
People may take their mind off finding a partner in some cases.
The best thing to do may be to keep a balance between aspiring to get the best and compromising. Although I am not saying I am doing that.

In some cases, enforcement is likely to be inevitable when the parties in the dispute hardly compromise and the third party faces a violent escalation.
However, it is not the kind of enforcement that imposes plans on the disputing parties, but the kind that prevents the parties from badly harming themselves or each other by an enforced intervention.
For example, this is one of the cases where justice and its power have a great influence on bullies.

What mentioned above are basic rules.
Every rule has its exception.
A rule is not always applicable.
Also, I tried to define the state of being happy.
In order to be happy, it has to be such state in both of:

1. biological, medical and social aspect, and
2. emotional aspect where the person himself/herself feel.
It is the state in which he/she feels happy in biological, medical and social aspect by satisfying his/her desires, or by secretion of brain chemicals related to happiness.
It must be true that brain chemicals and other brain substances related to pain, suffering, joy, pleasure, hunger, feeling of fullness, disease, health and happiness are what most life-forms have in common.

It is also paradoxically true that happiness is commonly the same to humans in a sense that each of them has their own form of happiness.
It is social conditions such as safety, affluent commodities, civilization, family, local community, nation, international relations and so on that bring us such happiness.
We can be happy when we can live in safety and peace.


2. emotional aspect where the person himself/herself feel.

Even if one is in good health, is rich, or has a lot of friends, he/she might not be feeling happy.
On the other hand, another person might be feeling happy even if he/she is sick or poor, although it could add another element to his/her happiness if he got cured or became rich.
In this way, for the realization of happiness, it is also necessary for one to be feeling that he/she is happy.
