I agree only a little. My ex used to always say only you can make yourself happy and that may be a bit true but aren't we supposed to help the ones we love? How many times have we taken someone out to cheer them up, that act of kindness can bring happiness to the person suffering. I think if you followed that statement you would be stripping away humanity and that would make the world a little sadder. If everyone looks after only their happiness where do the random acts of kindness fall. If you help out a fellow and they find joy to see there are good people out there then maybe that contributes to their happiness. Sorry, it just makes me sad to think of everyone in the world trying to make themselves happy and ignoring the plight of their fellow man using the excuse that they can't help them find happiness.
