I have devoted much of my life to studying, writing, and lecturing about the subject of happiness. In particular, I have advocated that people act as happy as possible even when they do not feel happy. This is, I believe, both a moral obligation to all those who are in our livesit is unfair to others to inflict our bad moods on themand a particularly effective way to increase our own happiness, since acting happy elevates ones mood. This is hardly controversialin just about every area of life, human beings deeply influence how they feel by how they act. As a rule, those who object to this idea of acting contrary to how one feels are people on the Leftbecause on the Left, feelings are sacrosanct.
