THE ADVOCACY FOR HAPPINESS

I was once told that I would be taken more seriously if I smiled less , people who seem happy often give off the impression that they are naive and delusional. Many people, knowingly and unknowingly hold on to the belief that life is suffering and if they encounter people who contradict that belief, they will categorize them as people who lack depth as they feel anger and sadness holds more weight than happiness. I believe anger and sadness are necessary emotions to be experienced at appropriate times, but I see things differently. I believe if you claim to be intelligent, your number one priority would be to experience the time we have on this earth in the most effective way possible. There are angry intelligent people who channel their anger to create amazing things, but there are countless of angry critics who channel their energy in resentment and suffering, which are inactive states. To be happy is to be brave, to be happy is a willingness to walk alone, to be happy is the skill of consistently embracing and accepting yourself by the second, to be happy is work. Sadness and anger like falling does not take effort, but happiness, the climb, the reach, it takes effort, but it’s worth it.
