  1. High pleasure are known as intellectual pleasure which require minimum cognitive volume for joy. While low pleasure are sensual pleasure
  2. Happiness can’t be a rational aim for humans, Mill refute it by saying we can all attain it if the education system focuses on value and ethics. Since happiness can be attained by each individual if we teach values early we can learn to be happy.
