Why is happiness put on a pedestal by society?
they say happy is the BEST thing a person can be,
what is wrong with being sad, mad, indifferent, etc? why is happiness better than those other feelings according to society?
the majority of people like being happy rather than sad? not true. i was conditioned to believe happiness is to be the most enjoyed emotion. i grew up being told that i should do what makes me happy all the time and strive to be happy.
some people are masochists and they enjoy pain or sadness more than happiness.
