I'm overthinking this...

Okay, so at work last night, in the midst of a whanging headache, I noticed one of the audiobooks we try to sell (I swear, I've sold maybe a dozen in the last 2 years, and I doubt the other shifts move too many more of the stupid things). Anyway, most of the audiobooks we carry are crap like "Win Every Argument" or "How to be a better Salesman in 5 EASY STEPS". Crap like that.

This one, however, was titled "Be Happy For No Reason".

And it got me thinking. If you're sad for no reason, it's called depression, and there's medical treatment, psychological treatment, and so forth. If you're angry for no reason, again, it's a mental problem where there's medicine or whatever.

So why is being happy for no reason considered to be a good thing? I mean, I would much rather have a reason to be happy, rather then go through my life all smiles and joy and shit with nothing to back it up. Seems to me that being happy for no reason is just as much a mental ailment as depression or constant rage or whatever.

Not like I'm going to buy the crap book anyway...
