 Bentham treats all forms of happiness as equal, whereas Mill argues that intellectual and moral pleasures ("higher pleasures") are superior to more physical forms of pleasure ("lower pleasures").He distinguishes between happiness and contentment, claiming that the former is of higher value than the latter, a belief wittily encapsulated in the statement that, "it is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied.And if the fool, or the pig, are of a different opinion, it is because they only know their own side of the question."
