Is there clarification on this or similar points in the Freedom Model ?
Let me respond to this point as you referred to a comment I made or actually didn't make.
I didn't suggest for a second that one's happiness concerns oneself alone. I believe most of our happiness comes from having good relationships and so of course our pursuit of happiness includes a genuine concern for others.
