This question speaks more to the person asking the question than to the one answering.
There are different mindsets available to us as humans. For instance, people often ask the question, "Is the glass half full, or half empty?". The answers to this question are countless,
However, for me the answer is simple. We're you filling up the glass or emptying it when the question was asked? There lies your answer. If you were emptying it, the the glass is half empty. If you were filling it, then the glass is half full. So the answer is a reflection of the person answering it and thier current state of mind.
In the same way, your question can be answered.
What are your goals in life? Do you wish only to avoid that which is unpleasant? Or do you want more than that? Here lies your answer.
Pursuing happiness and avoiding suffering is synonymous, the reason why is because life should be about fulfilment, being contented and making impact in life that's all that matter.
However as humanity we must strive hard to be comfortable, seeking for happiness but not blindly pursuing it.
Happiness is definitely the demise of suffering, if one is happy then it means they aren't.
In conclusion, we should neither avoid suffering nor pursue hapiness, but strive hard to make impact and be contended.
