1 answer
The reasoning in this argument is flawed. It can be classified as circular reasoning. The argument simply states that living a happy life is the top priority because nothing is as important as being happy, but it does not provide any further evidence or reasoning to support this claim. The initial premise is restated as the conclusion without any additional support, making it circular in nature.
