This article is designed to illuminate light and shadow in the discourse on happiness. In this process, I orient the discours of happiness that maximizes freedom and minimizes the violence. To do this, I am first interested in the dialectical relation between freedom and violence(1). And I talk critically about Epicurus and Aristotle`s position. In this conversation with them, I argue that the theory of happiness get out of the dichotomy of happiness and unhappiness, if it do not want to fall into the unfortunate sense(2). And from the horizon of the right, I attempt to justify the happiness as a process rather than the means and purpose(3). Furthermore, I try to demonstrate the necessity of happiness theory for the course to get back the lost ego from the boundary of the negative psychology and the positive psychology(4). Finally, I say that the discourse on happiness requires the process towards the outside out of self-pity and self-immersion(5).
