I choose happiness

I put stock in few absolutes. Disclaimer provided, I feel more and more strongly that happiness is a choice. I won’t substantiate my belief with any sort of context. And before you disagree with me, don’t. Because I’m more than aware that anyone who doesn’t believe happiness is a choice cannot be convinced it is. It’s just a belief you come to or don’t. Believe me, there was a time when I was in the other camp.
But hey, I also put stock in the belief that people can change but only if they want to. Which is really just a more general way of saying happiness is a choice. And people feel pretty strongly on that one too (though many leave out the "if they want to" part).
So there you go.
