I mean it's impossible to truly scientifically nail down such a thing as happiness anyway. People can tell you they are happy and that's about all you can listen to. Maybe they are telling the truth, maybe they are lying, can't be determined scientifically.

It's like the murder statistics. It's true trans people are far more likely to be murdered than normal people in the same way that it's true prostitutes are far more likely to be murdered than normal people. Trans people are far more likely to be prostitutes. Getting capped while sucking off some drunk ass high ass cholo behind the dumpster because he finds out you've got a penis is very much a part of the no shit Sherlock school of life. But look at the details behind the murder statistics and it's either this kind of scenario or them capping themselves. Is the statement true that they are more likely to be victims of murder? Technically yes. Is that the trans person's fault? Is it the bear's fault that the camper gets attacked for leaving food out in the open in their tent? I guess so. That bear should not have chosen a life of crime.

Happiness is a fleeting emotion. One day you’re happy. The after, you’re sad. And the day after that, you’re happy again. The happiest person in the world is not happy all the time. The saddest person in the world is happy sometimes.

Happiness is nice but the pursuit of happiness to all ends is a flawed ideology. You'll destroy yourself if you are never happy. But if you value happiness to the expense of all else you'll also destroy yourself. I think learning to be content with yourself and your surroundings is more conductive to true "happiness" than all else. Desire is good to pursue to some extent but if it's pursuit becomes the whole of your being you'll never find yourself satisfied.

Unless you can learn to find joy in the worst circumstances, then you will know nothing but sorrow in the best circumstances.

Well said.
