Dennis Prager argues that acting happy makes you happy, and that cultivating positive emotions is a moral responsibility because negative moods harm others. He says to be good, act good; to be happy, act happy.
There's no question in my mind that good people are happier. That's why happiness is a moral subject. Not only is it a moral subject because you can't inflict your bad moods on other people. If you act X, you'll feel X. You want to be a good person? Start acting good. You want to be a happy person? Start acting happy. Act, act, act, act.
