This article is about happiness and the socially acceptable amount one 'should' feel.
There is a 'happiness fetish' in society where people are expected to be happy at all times which is unnatural and absurd.
This article caught my attention because I am interested in the idea of happiness and what makes people happy. Why some people are more easily satisfied and how people get to that point in life where they are content (if ever) and what does it mean to be content.
