Today we are going to talk about happiness.

We all like feeling happy, right? Well, if you don't like feeling happy, well then you either need some professional help, which I hope you get, or you're a freak!

This obsession with the negative continues even until today, though we don't need this as a survival mechanism anymore.

A – past habit or truth

B – a feeling (present, past, future)
