The rule is that a person has to be very determined and put all their strength into finding joy at all times. For human nature is to draw itself to gloom and depression on account of life’s vicissitudes and misfortunes. And every human being is filled with suffering. Therefore, a person has to exercise great effort in tying themself to being happy at all times, and to bring themself to joy in any way they can—even with silliness. (Likutei Moharan, Part 2, 24:2)
