Happiness isn't of fact of fortune, or wealth. It's based off of your personal belief and personal thoughts. I hate being in the US Army and everything my government is standing for right now, but that doesn’t stop me from being happy. Happiness is not a state of actions that accrue in my life, but more a way I deal with stress. Life can always be worse then it is, and even if you have nothing in life you could be dead. Death is the worse thing in life. I'm not dead so I'm going to live it happy.
