EVERYONE deserves to exist. EVERYONE deserves to be happy. EVERYONE deserves to enjoy whatever it is they enjoy. Anyone that doesn’t agree needs to just go away and leave the rest of us alone.

With the usual caveat about “whatever it is they enjoy” not being harmful. Which is where the differences of opinion tend to crop up that lead to a whole lot of not going away and leaving alone.

What if not agreeing makes them happy?

Hmmm…I personally feel we don’t live just for ourselves. We have an obligation to our community (at many levels) to contribute, rather than just thinking of ourselves.

I am happiest when I can make other people happy. If others get what they deserve and are _already_ happy, then you deprive me of my right to be happy.

And if my getting what I deserved and therefore being happy deprived you of happiness, I’d be unhappy about that.
