Some people find excuses to be happy, and others search for excuses to be unhappy.
I can understand that some people have genuine difficulties and circumstances that make them unhappy, however seeking out unhappiness is difficult for me to fathom.
There are also others who are carefree and search for excuses just to be happy despite them not fulfilling responsibilities and thus continue to be dependent on others for survival. These people may show outward happiness but deep down are missing something.
If you are doing your best in life and continue to strive to be a better person every day, finding an excuse to be happy is a smart choice!
