No, it is not - EVALUATION is.
Your wishes don't change the nature of good and bad, nor the nature of evaluated thing.

Happiness is the essence of human existence.
Egoism means concerning your own interest, where you are the beneficiary of your moral actions. Egoism is not even somehow good - it IS man being good.
