I can't see happiness as a right because there is nobody controlling it and ensuring fairness and justice. Like almost everything in life worth having, happiness doesn't often come easily. If it did, it wouldn't be worth anything at all.


Well I really didn't want this post to come off as cliched, I knew I was running the risk when I made it. But I think that a lot of the replies show that my question ended up coming across rather well. I don't see happiness as something that there is a limited amount of. Happiness can exist anywhere, in any situation, in any quantity. Basically what I was trying to gauge, is if people see the happiness as a reward, or as something that one should strive to experience during every single moment of their asking life. Is it merely the speck of light at the end of the tunnel, or is it there all along?

I suppose, however, that the actual word, happiness, can be interpreted in so many different ways since it is indeed quite broad. I like the responses so far though, and I wouldn't mind reading more.

"The undisciplined has no (right) mentality,
And no efficient force;
(he) Who has no efficient force has no peace,
For him that has no peace, how can there be bliss?"

Happiness is ultimately the result of self mastery / self discipline. The longer stretches of self discipline usually yield the longest stretches of happiness. People with very little self mastery are often ones whose lives can be observed constantly going up and down w/ short bursts of pleasure followed by comparable lows & little stability.

It is definitely possible to be happy all the time, but it takes a phenomenal amount of self discipline to maintain that state of mind for such a prolonged period.

Happiness is not a state of being. Happiness IS being.
And I'm talking true happiness. True happiness has no opposite.
Most of what we think of as "happiness" is only based on egoic attachment to temporary things, thus causing suffering when we lose the thing. True happiness comes from unattachment to form, and therefore cannot be lost.

I get you. The part where you were asking if people thought happiness was something everyone had a right to all the time made it sound like some broad question on humanity, or something.

Some people would say life is short, and you should get the most out of it while it lasts. Other people would say true happiness isn't easily acquired and isn't always available, so you have to work hard to achieve it. I try and maintain a level of balance. There are definitely areas of my life where I spend a long time being unhappy because I'm working at something better than a quick-fix low-level solution, but if you're utterly miserable in your current state because you're waiting for some distant reward, you might come to regret it.
