Make most of the people's life better. Everyone is an impossible target. Maybe make the life better for more than the alternatives

  This seems to cozy up to Utilitarianism, which has it's own problems. [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilitarianism#Criticisms_and_Responses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilitarianism#Criticisms_and_...

    I was trying to reply to the Everyone part in: If society can't make everyone happy, what's the point.

      Right. Depending on the take, your aligns with the utilitarian perspective as well. You don't need to make everyone happy, as long as it leads to the "greatest good" (rule utilitarianism) or the "highest average happiness" (average utilitarianism). My point is that this perspective is not devoid of philosophical problems.
