keenu, your view that you can always choose to be happy is totally unrealistic. Suppose you or your loved ones were writhing in severe pain...

Oh, good grief, MS, I wasn't nitpicking. I was just giving my input.

T, I am happy but I still feel the usual emotions of the day. Anger, grief, sadness, etc. They ebb ebb and flow through my psyche while I remain a happy person. I don't think this is unrealistic.

In that case you're using the word in an unusual sense because it is generally accepted that happiness is the antonym of sadness.

I am saying that I am a happy person but that I experience things like sadness and joy and grief and anger all in a days work but that I still remain a happy person. Does that not make sense, in the grand scheme of things?
