POST

one of my classmate answer to this part like this maybe it can help youWhile happiness is one thing everyone wants and needs in life,  Based on the survey from Dilemma #1 I prefer to remain human and unhappy rather than becoming a happy pig. I personally believe that as humans we are very blessed. No matter how miserable and hard life could get sometimes, there will always be things that we see or have around us that do make us happy. If I know that I would be miserable for the rest of my life, becoming a happy pig wont really end the misery,  and choosing to not so might make me happy at that stage. While no one would like to live unhappily there would always be situations and things we are surrounded by which would at least give us  temporary happiness. At the end of they day some people do end up unhappy and nothing is always perfect, life does have ups and downs and I personally accept however it turns out and try to make the best out of it! 

Suppose you are the most miserable person on earth. You are unhappy, in pain and you know that you will feel this way for the rest of your life. You come across a happy pig, who is wallowing in mud. You know for sure that this is the happiest pig on earth. A magic man offers you to trade places with the pig. Would you take the offer? Would you rather be a happy pig or an unhappy human? (Once a pig, you will not remember any former human experience. The pig is going to live a long and happy life.)Group of answer choicesMay be I would, but it would be a sin, because if I am created human, I must complete my life as one.Yes I would, happiness is what matters.No, I would rather be an unhappy person; being human is a gift in itself, and it doesn't matter if I am happy or not

this is the survey question you need to talk about this too and explain why you choose it
