I think everyone deserves happiness as long as their happiness doesn't come at the expense of others. I think I deserve to be happy when I am not hurting others, but when I am hurting someone then I don't deserve to be happy.
What if you are hurting them for their own good? Or if you think you are being good to them but in reality you are hurting them but you don't know it? What if you intend to hurt them but instead it backfires and actually makes them happy? Sorry... I am being a real problem today.
I don't know if I really believe in that "hurting someone for their own good" thing. But if it really was for their own good, then it wouldn't really be hurting them. It would be helping them in the long run and so then you would still deserve to be happy.
I was born with depression, so happiness, while great, feels really unnatural. I feel like I'm not supposed to be happy, so the answer is no I guess.
You said "Damn Straight" while talking about happiness. Another word for happy is gay. Damn straight, being gay is ok! That's a funny statement. I wish I didn't have all this homework. I'm obviously tired.
