There is no right to happiness! There is no right to be treated with respect by others! Just try to find where they are written and who backs them up. You won't succeed.

So throw away the idea of "rights." You will immediately become more empowered and happy. When people mistreat you, you won't become terribly upset because you realize they are acting within their rights. (People don't have a right to commit crimes against you. That is what the legal justice system is for. But people do have a right to try to make you miserable.) You will then be left with your true right: the Constitutional right to the PURSUIT of happiness. At least you'll stand a chance of getting it. You will never get happiness if you believe you are entitled to it.
