INCREASED HAPPINESS WOULD RESULT ONLY FROM MORE PERFECT GRASP.

Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition Plotinus and Guthrie, Kenneth Sylvan
Open passage
3. What shall be said of him who lived happily during a longer period, who has longer contemplated the same spectacle? If such longer contemplation resulted in a clearer idea thereof, the length of time has served some useful purpose; but if the agent contemplated it in the same manner for the whole extent of time, he possesses no advantage over him who contemplated it only once.

HAPPINESS IS NOT THE SATISFACTION OF THE DESIRE TO LIVE. PLEASURE IS UNCONNECTED WITH HAPPINESS.
