"Actions should be determined by what will bring about the most happiness and contentment for all parties whether it be now or for the future."
This is my mission for you: According to your experience and knowledge, pick apart that statement, adding or subtracting words, changing it, and making it better according to what you believe could make it more true. I want to see what happens!

The only problem with that statement is that it would be presumptuous for you to assume that you know what would bring happiness to other people. Sometime, I wonder if people really know what would really make themselves happy.

Let me add that in my world view, satisfying a desire/craving does not result in happiness. (e.g. using drugs, shopping/eating because you are sad.) If it does in your worldview, maybe it is easy to know what would make other people happy.
