I understand that sometimes people dont want to try to be happy because they dont want to
risk hurting others and dont want to seem selfish. I think it is interesting that people would think
that other peoples feelings matter most to them then their own. If I really believe this statement
then I would notice that maybe people do care how others feel more than themselves, which is
strange because everyone nowadays seem self-absorbed. This could be true if they are talking
about sometimes, in some situations, but not all the time in day to day activities that make you
happy. Its hard to agree with something that says we dont deserve to be happy because we
think it will make other people unhappy but in my experience if you are happy and dont rub in
other peoples faces then it could make other people happy as well.
