Do we deserve happiness?

Happiness is a transitional state we experience once in awhile.

Humans didn't evolve to be happy. If so we would die out. We're kind of set up to be a little depressed and wanting.

Being happy is just some temporary feeling we get. Some laughter. A good cookie, that kind of thing.

Even if you're "satisfied" you'll eventually go depressed and anxious, as this motivates you to survive. If you were just happy, you wouldn't think to have more food than you need for a day you have none, or get more water if you might run out.

You need motivation. Just being happy is like just being on heroin all the time. Doesn't end well.

Sure in an possible amoral godless universe yes. Why not because if there’s no afterlife then why not make the most of it while alive?

We deserve nothing but the ability to pursue joy and happiness. Any success(s) that we have in that endeavor is entirely a consequence of our actions (or inactions).

No, no one deserves anything.

Everyone gets what they are willing to trade their valuables for. Their valuables will differ. Time, attention, and effort, those are all valuables. If one is willing to give up those things they can achieve momentary happiness.

I agree with u/dangzagnut here, humans aren’t meant to be “happy” even content can breed complacency, which in turn leads to losing things, which leads to unhappiness.

Do we truly deserve any type of joy and happiness in our mortal lives on earth?

Where and when else are we going to find happiness? When we're rotting in our graves? Or are you trying to foist some self-destructive religious view on us that we are all but sinners deserving of hellfire? If the latter is the case, go proselytize somewhere else, "RedeemerPhoenix336".

The curse of life is the curse of want. You will never be completely satisfied a day in your life. Something in you will want more.
