What’s happiness got to do with it ?

Who needs eternal happiness ? Of course some happiness is good. Everyone likes to feel happy from time to time. However, the latest trend seems to be a fruitless – mostly anyway – search for some kind of eternal happiness that will make your life perfect somehow. And there are loads of books on this subject out there for you to dive into in order to learn how to find the Lord of Happy, the one Happy to rule them all. The eternal kingdom – empire – of  Happiness  is out there somewhere, waiting to be discovered and all these get-happy-books promise that they hold the key to the door. For a price of course. No getting happy without paying first, not in the Godgiven market economy which rules everything in this world. The only ones getting happy are the authors of those happy-books and they will soon start to write books on how depression can actually be good for you. When happy is not trendy anymore – depression will be back in style. Mark my words, I have been wrong before.
