It's kind of true that one cannpt really be happy with all the other things that surround us. The world has really turned into something else and a moment of happiness easily changes when you switch on your TV. What we see happening around us prevents us from really experiencing long term happiness. Many people have made up their minds to be happy no matter what happens. Even if it is delusional and not realistic to others, they've chosen this way of life and it is working for them.
