Is it wrong to feel happy all the time?!
Question: I know this sounds silly but my life has so much passion and meaning, sometimes I wonder if it's really meant to be as such. I look around me and see people that have so much pain and grief, but can't understand as to why I have none whatsoever. Is it wrong to be happy all the time? or should I just continue doing as I'm doing and enjoying every moment?
Thank you so much for your help :)

Happiness is a result of loving. It is possible to be truly happy for all your life. Not easy, but possible.
Happiness is a positive mental and emotional state almost all the time. People seek many things in life, but what they really seek is happiness. They seek external things because they believe that obtaining them will make them happy. Happiness is the result of Love. Love is the cause of happiness. To verify this data, simply remember a time when you "fell in love". How did you feel? Did not your whole world kind of glow? Did you not "walk on air"? Did you heart not dance? Love causes the experience of happiness.
Most people look outside themselves to others for love and happiness. They look for someone to love them, someone to save them from loneliness, insecurity, sadness, etc. They look for someone to make them feel secure, respected, important, valued, etc. In effect, they want others to do the work of making them feel loved and happy. you do not need the love of others to be happy.
The only love that is really important is your love for yourself. Happiness is the experience of your love for yourself When you love yourself, you easily and naturally love others. You can not give what you do not have.
Everyone tells you to love yourself: few tell you how. Despite all the injunctions to do so, learning to loving yourself is neither simple nor easy. It requires knowledge and effort. (If it were simple and easy, everybody would have learned to do so a long time ago and this planet would be a different place.)
Just Get Happier!
A very effective method of becoming happier is to simply sit or lie down, and focus on the feeling of happiness. Whether you just sit and smile, or actively come up with pleasant thoughts like "I feel great," focusing on nothing else but feeling happier is an excellent way of better getting in touch with, and strengthening, the feeling of happiness. After a while, you'll find yourself tuning into this pleasant feeling at other times of the day when you're also engaged in other activities.
A very good evening to you my good friend Prodigal Son. I am so pleased to here you say that ! when you can bring your full attention to the present moment you will always feel happy. Live it and love it and you will both feel happy and create a happy future for yourself!
