Happiness is an important part of life, a life not filled with happiness is certainly a miserable one. You cannot boast to have a meaningful life and not be happy. Some try to fake happiness by oppressing others and trying to make others believe they are alright and happy but deep down, they know the truth. And eventually, the truth comes out. The story of a lady comes to mind, she was loved by all and she loved all. Very nice and welcoming to folks, everyone taught she was happy and that everything was well with her until she died. We discovered that she had been maltreated by her husband everyday, yet she kept a good public face. We thought she was happy, and a lot of people prayed for a family like her's. But it is what it is.
Wherever you find yourself, be happy genuinely. Never deceive yourself, even if you are deceiving others, not yourself.
