In today's society it is obvious that many people think that everyone is entitled to their own happiness. I also believe it can be over glamorized and people find happiness through silly things such as how many retweets they get on Twitter, or likes on Instagram. I do believe that happiness is a right, but people often have flawed representations of what happiness should truly look like and be. I don't think happiness can easily be found, and someone has to look into their own lives in order to achieve happiness and realize what is keeping them from getting it. In addition, people often hurt others in order to create their own happiness, just like Troy hurt Rose. I don't think it is okay to be selfish when creating your own happiness, I have experienced first hand the pain that one can cause another during their journey to reaching their definition of happiness.
What happiness means in fences is similar to what it is like in society. For example, Troy is selfish with reaching happiness and he hurts someone who really cares about him. This is very apparent in our society because some will do almost anything for their own happiness. Rose also views happiness through her dreams and goals in life, and I think that it also a big part to what happiness is in our society as well.
Overall, happiness is important and everyone has the right to it, but people should be careful in the things they do to gain it.
