When I disparage this idea of happiness, the counter-argument is always the same^
"Oh I krouj!
It's all about the journey.
The conversation about "theJourney" is always coupled with the idea that the Journey is ajoyous one, rich with smiles

The problem with 'happy* is a lot like the problem with Pluto.
Several years ago, Pluto lost its designation as a planet, which caused a lot of Uproar.

But Pluto itself was never the problem. It’s our definition of 'planet* that was the problem. 'Planet* comes from a Greek word, meaning
