Happiness is a Choice

Couple weeks back, the managers' weekly meeting at work focused on inclusiveness and sensitivity -for example (these are the two that were given) being careful not to make comments about alcoholics or jokes about depression because you never know who is suffering/recovering.

Today I went into the staff break room to heat my lunch (I usually hid in my office) and saw the company equivalent of a motivational poster on the wall that read "Happiness is a choice". And I wondered about the sensitivity of that. Is it a choice? I suspect that if you're suffering from depression is isn't. And I suspect a sign that reads such is not very helpful. but I could just be seeking Butthurt for shits and grins. your thoughts?
