| If I said I was depressed and the only thing that would make me happy is a 25 million dollar mansion with megan fox as my personal maid, do I automatically deserve that just because it would make me happy?
To go one step further...why does everybody deserve happyness? And dont anybody quote Jefferson, saying "its a fundamental human right"...he said " THE PERSUIT of happyness. Not "the entitlement" of happyness. |
