Happiness is knowing that you're better than someone else. If everyone was happy we'd have nothing to shoot for. In some strange way you could reason that it's better to be sad, because then when you become happy, it means so much more. Look at some of the things we have today. I know that I ***** and moan about what I have all around me, but you tell that to someone in a War torn middle eastern country and they think you're a dick. So, I guess really, we just have to lower our standards.
C'mon everyone, try it! Go play Dick Tracy for the NES, and enjoy it!
