According to Locke, how does the pursuit of happiness prevent negative consequences in our lives?

People no longer make mistakes

People are more intelligent

People are no longer tied to the past.

People do not pursue immediate pleasure.

The correct answer is "People do not pursue immediate pleasure".

Explanation:

According to Locke’s natural law theory, the moral law is self-discovered by people when they work with reason and sense experience and it is attached to human beings by a decree of God. The moral law must differentiate between real and imaginary happiness, the latter arises from the pursuit of short-term pleasures that have unintended, long-term negative defects. Therefore, in the pursuit of happiness negative consequences are prevented when people do not pursue immediate pleasure, but rather look for long-term positive effects.
