Happiness Is a Moral Obligation.
"..When we think of character traits we rightly think of honesty, integrity, moral courage, and acts of altruism. Few people include happiness in any list of character traits or moral achievements. Happiness or at least acting happy, or at the very least not inflicting one’s unhappiness on others is no less important in making the world better than any other human trait......."
Should have hit the view replies. I smile plenty, it’s a favorite song, that fits well in bad times, like a crumby election with lots of really bad candidates. But that happiness as a moral obligation is weird. If you ain’t happy you ain’t happy. Life throws us all some ugliness periodically, nobody gets to be happy all the time, nothing immoral about it.
