He also said one should try to be useful. I think the idea is you must be happy in order to achieve maximum usefulness. This must be done while you are still alive. You don't owe it to yourself, you owe it to everyone else. I think it was in In These Times that Vonnegut said he thought he should sue R.J. Reynolds for false advertising because smoking Pall Malls hadn't killed him yet. Buddha said it is one’s moral responsibility to be happy. He also said one should try to be useful.
