Of course! Every breath of life deserves to be happy. However, not everyone holds the same definition for happiness. I think this is where it becomes confusing for humans to understand. My definition of happiness may not be the same as my colleagues definition of happiness and that's completely normal because it's unique to me. Regardless of definitions, humans deserve happiness, but how it is achieved can also be so different. I think knowing that there are differences that exist between individuals is important because it helps develop perspective. Sometimes what someone else believes becomes integrated as a part of your self, and you forget about first believed about yourself. So, in my opinion, we are all deserving of happiness.

Yes, humans really do deserve to be happy. By that, I mean truly happy, not fake happy. Every person deserves to be happy and to be okay, no matter the situation, or circumstances.

Yes, regardless of what has been done and what has happened, everyone deserves to be happy. Though this usually doesn't happen, everyone deserves an attempt at a happiness.

Hmm, this is an interesting question. I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean to imply that humans are too flawed to "deserve" happiness? In that case, I think that there are humans who have done atrocious things... But atrocity is not a characteristic that all humans share. I think it is flawed to judge an individual because of a group that they belong to, be that race, or species, or anything else. Now, the other way I'm interpreting your question is in regards to whether happiness is an intrinsic human right. To be honest, there are no "intrinsic" human rights. In this big wide universe, there is nothing that anyone "deserves". The universe doesn't care who lives or dies... And that can be a sad thought. But humans have the ability to create that which does not exist physically. The laws of gravity are concrete, and all things must follow them. The laws of human rights are abstract, and thus, harder to enforce. And they even change from person to person! So it really is up to you whether you believe that every person deserves happiness in that sense or not... But I like to think we do. And that is why we're here!

I believe that being happy is the ultimate goal of human life. I know it can be hard sometimes to feel that way, but as long as you are living your life for yourself, you don't have to live up to any expectations that other people put for you

Yes we all deserve to be happy maybe some more than others And especially, for me, those who think they don’t deserve it Some people suffer all their lives go through so much yet they still keep a smile on their face yet they still try to be better and not let why happened to them corrupt them make them someone they aren’t make them bad People like this that despite all the bs that life throws their away are capable of not losing themselves deserve to be happy Deserve a life of peace without any more suffering As for those that did bad in their lives if they see it regret it and try to redeem themselves can achieve happiness too It’s all up to us

Yes Yes Yes! I absolutely believe all humans deserve to be happy. Everyone in this life deserves to be happy and pursue activities that elevate their happiness. There are different things in life that make people happy. For example, traveling makes me so happy, Other people might dread traveling or even dislike being on an airplane. That is totally valid as well. It is important to not shame others for what makes them happy as everyone has different goals and interests. Whatever floats their boat, you know? Everyone should do one thing every single that makes them happy since we all deserve it.
