Britney Spears, Divorce and Happiness as a Moral Obligation
February 21, 2007
Have you ever been so overwhelmed, scared, sad and confused that you just wanted to pull your hair out?
Me? Yep, I have.
And, I imagine that’s what Britney Spears was feeling when she publicly shaved her head in a Los Angeles salon recently.
I can feel a deep compassion for Britney because I’ve been there, the divorce, the two kids, the uncertainty, the fear.
Luckily, I didn’t have to go through it in the public eye. Of course, I also didn’t have her millions to ease my pain.
Remember how you felt in high school when you merely THOUGHT people were talking about you?
Now imagine that intensified about 10000x when everyone in the whole world really IS talking about you AND your rebound boyfriend is spreading nasty rumors in magazines.
Shoot, I only just recently have felt comfortable enough to start talking about my own divorce and I’m NEVER afraid to talk about anything.
Typically, I don’t hold anything back.
e But, I haven’t been as open about my divorce out of some underlying fear or shame that I’m not even really consciously aware of, but must be there.
In support of all of the rest of you out there who are in the middle of it, it gets better, much better!
It’s been about 18 months since I moved out of my house and I’m glad to say that my life is better than ever now, but the first year was rough.
The second year has made it all worth it.
And, the only reason things are as good as they are now is because I’ve truly recognized that when I’m happy, everyone around me is happy and I’ve stopped feeling guilty for pursuing what makes me happy.
If it makes me happy, I do it.
In fact, I read an article today that argues happiness is actually a moral obligation!

And, frankly, I have to agree.
Dennis Prager nailed it when he wrote that in contrast to the pursuit of pleasure, which, he says, turns into a hedonistic drug, "the pursuit of happiness is noble. It benefits everyone around the individual pursuing it, and it benefits humanity. And that is why happiness is a moral obligation."
Are you making yourself happy right now? And, if not, why not? Who is your unhappiness benefiting?
