Innocent people should choose how they want to live and choose whether they wish to suffer or not. The fact that innocent people who suffer from things they have no choice in the matter such as diseases and mental illnesses and are people just simply considered "unfortunate" in the eyes of the universe while people who are spoiled and don't have such suffering and live happy lives are considered "fortunate" is what makes this life (universe) utterly pathetic and worthless. The "true" life (universe) would allow us to completely choose the way we want to live and consider us as human beings and grant us an afterlife and a God. As for making the best of my life as it is, there is no pleasure whatsoever that I can even use in making the best of my life at all.
I don't think happiness is luck. I think happiness is a choice.
