This is a strange exclusionary way of considering happiness, tbh.

Like even if I want, and maybe even would be most happy, to sit down in front of a plate of duck a l'orange for dinner doesn't mean I can't or won't be perfectly happy eating a sirloin steak for dinner instead

Edit: for clarity, I am referring to your father's view on happiness, not your response to it
