We all try to be the happiest we can be given our circumstances, but as humans we see the suffering around us and want to make the world better. I think the working to make the world better part is noble but I'm not sure it is necessary to make one self suffer with sorrow and anxiety while doing so. It's not easy to find a balance though.
