    Yes. There is a path one must take to get to happiness, according to Buddhism, so it’s not as simple as that but I do agree with your question. It’s a bit more in depth than having compassion and being non-judgmental although those are important elements.

    I agree that the purpose of life is to achieve happiness. Or that’s at least one purpose. I dpn’t know if I agree that the only way to get there is compassion and being non-judgmental, but it certainly can’t hurt.
