All it takes is for one impending doom, and bam! You'll never again have the luxury of even being able to think about happiness.
Course, most dooms aren't that final, and I agree that we should focus on the positive (such as, how can we change our actions to affect a positive outcome?), and a critical eye towards doomsayers is always called for (as is a critical eye to those who promise happiness), but ignoring problems usually doesn't make them go away (especially serious ones).
