Just found this from the Dalai Lama, where he agrees with me (as mentioned in the introduction video) that Happiness is everyone’s human right. 

“…naturally we want happiness – ‘I want happiness,’ ‘I do not want suffering’.  Not only is it natural, it is right.  It needs no further justification; it is a natural feeling validated simply by the fact that we naturally and correctly want happiness and do not want suffering.

Based on that feeling, we have the right to obtain happiness and the right to get rid of suffering.” The Dalai Lama, Kindness, Charity and Insight.

So we have it on good authority, we have a right to happiness, and every right to start to let go of suffering (or unhappiness).
