I'm okay with that world view. My issue was with the concept of deserving. No one deserves to be happy. You can earn happiness. There are a myriad of ways to make yourself happy or content with your situation

If we start saying you deserve happiness, then anything that makes you unhappy is an attack against your very being. It's a human rights violation. People are going to feel entitled to being blissful all the time. That is a danger road.
