[QUOTE=diwana;6616387]Interesting thoughts above.
Seeking happiness itself is not evil as I mentioned. Its the amount and methods which need to be controlled. ( Read Ethical Egoism)/QUOTE]
True

I will go further:
Hedonism (seeking pleasure) is a trait of almighty. He orders us to please him. He was just not satisfied by angels doing the same job.
This is the quality we are all going to have in heaven. (no remorse)..and is promised if we satisfy almighty's advice.

The word “seek” can not be defined or conceived independent or exclusive of an effort, and pleasure on the successful conclusion of that effort can not be without acknowledgment of the materialization of that effort.
The pleasure associated with “seek” is not objectively in the achievement of the target of ‘seek” but in the psychological exuberance yoked with fruition of the effort and that is why we adopt and forget about achieved material object quickly yet can still take pleasure in the remembrance of the path to seek that object. With that understood, Allah does not “seek” pleasure; neither quest for satisfaction is Allah’s trait or desire.
Our endeavor to seek pleasure stems out of our inability to thwart our philosophical perception of being powerless. Howsoever flawed it might be, it finds refuge in possession of material objects, it may manifest itself in becoming a salve of animal instinct, in ostentation, in socio-political power or in wealth
