Why aren't people always happy? Why do we have other emotions? Can't everyone just be happy all the time? I like happiness, and being happy makes people around me happy, so why does sadness exist? I just want to stay happy. I don't like being depressed. It's not fun. It's not just sadness. It's so much worse. So many horrible thoughts and actions that could be avoided if we only had happiness. And why can't all deaths be peaceful? Why must there be pain? Why is there hatred and jealousy and war? Do humans honestly think we are better than every species just because we feel and recognize emotions? What gives us the right to take over and disrupt peace? Manifest destiny? Why can't everyone just mind there own business and be happy?
