Loving others includes being happy that they are happy … unless the source of their happiness is sin. People can find happiness in all sorts of things ranging from cheating on a test to cheating on a spouse, hurting themselves through addictions to hurting others through mistreatment, and ignoring family responsibilities to ignoring God. This is not the time to be happy for them; it is the time to help them. We should support: Godly ambitions, but not selfish ones. Godly affections, but not sinful ones. Godly actions, but not senseless ones. Let us encourage, equip and empower each other to be happy, but not in a way that we will regret in the end.
