Some philosophers believe happiness can be understood as the moral goal of life or as an aspect of chance; indeed, in most European languages the term happiness is synonymous with luck.
Thus, philosophers usually explicate on happiness as either a state of mind, or a life that goes well for the person leading it.
Aristotle says that the purpose of mankind is eudaimonia—happiness.
So, the purpose of man is to achieve eudaimonia, which is a state of serene and permanent happiness, rather than the momentary exaltation of the senses.
In this way, our actions will be good or bad, depending on this ultimate goal.
By "happiness" Aristotle means a life of excellence or fulfillment, doing the distinctively human things well, not a life of feeling a certain way.
Both philosophers agree that happiness is an important factor in one's life and essentially the essence of how to live a good life.
Plato offers many theories and definitions of justice leading to happiness, while Aristotle argues that happiness is the main goal that all humans aim for in their entire life.
