If you think:
- only 1% of people are happy
- they are happy because they are lucky
- every happy person is a propagandist
You need immediate recalibration of your worldview. You only live once, and you ought to be happy.
People managed to be happy throughout human history because it’s a skill.
EDIT:
I wanted to add that I meant the above in good faith and not as an attack. I used to be unhappy too. But I learnt:
- every moment doesn't need to be hedonic bliss
- life doesn't have to be easy
- one's work doesn't need to meet all of one's needs
... and you can still be happy. Human beings are extremely tough and adaptable, but that is a capability that has to be exercised.
