Kid - I am not really sure that I know any truly "happy" people. Everyone wears their mask to hide their piles of shit, even in front of those who are closest to them. Some corporate dweebs decide what we will wear, eat, drink, screw, drive, etc. Products are no longer sold, only image. We are told that if we "buy" into that image we will be happy. We are just fooling ourselves.
