"Nor what I said, which is that if people are sad, it is because that is the way they have chosen to respond to their situations."

No. What you said was:

"Au contraire. It's a wonderful world..."It's not a sad world at all"

Some people canchange the way they view things. Some people can say: "I am not sad that my sister just died. I am happy. I am not sad that I am hungry and full of disease on some alley way in India, Canada, or the U.S. I am happy. I am not sad that I just passed 4 teenagers full of hate and rage because they feel powerless except in their gang. I am happy."

You are right ...some people can always be happy. I am glad I am not one of those people...
