If I could sit down and have a conversation with John Stuart Mill, the first thing I would ask is..Do you honestly think that anyone would sit down and think about how their actions would affect the overall happiness of a large group of people? It is just extremely difficult to take into consideration everyone’s happiness.

I think you are right. No one will ever be able to think about how each one of their actions effects other people. I do believe though that we can try to consider other people when we are going to do something, in order to keep our actions moral, when possible. Asking people to analyze every action they make is probably physically impossible you are right.
