....there are times when it is not appropriate for us to feel happy. We are not, for example, expected to smile if we receive a final demand for a bill that we cannot pay. If we commit a traffic offence and are pulled over by a stern police officer, we are not expected to comment on how wonderful the world is.
If we are not careful, though, we can end up nervously suppressing joy so successfully that we forget to feel it, even when circumstances permit this.
What you are is what you have been. What you’ll be is what you do now (Buddha)
