We should discuss it more.
So long as your pursuit does not hurt anyone else, no one has a moral claim to stop you.
Happiness is never guaranteed. Many will try to use force to stop people from making mistakes and feel justified in it.
But good ideas don't require force. Allow people to make mistakes, even dire and permanent mistakes. Everybody in life has scars that we've learned from.
What we learn from those mistakes will often make us happier than if our plans had gone perfectly. Knowledge, growth, and development are better creators of lasting joy than just about anything else.
