Today we find many individuals who exploit others for their own happiness. We rarely come across an individual who sacrifices himself for the sake of others’ welfare. Therefore, one man must suffer in order that ten people may be happy. We should not cultivate the habit of subjecting ten people to unhappiness just for the benefit of a single individual. We must consider here quantity versus quality. If the action is bad, you are not justified in suffering for the happiness of ten people. If ten people are working for something noble, then there is every justification for you to sacrifice your own happiness and to support them with your endeavour.
