Happiness is an important subject. The way I see it, happiness is like a campfire. If you add more wood, the fire burns brighter (happier). If you take some out, the fire diminishes (less happy). But if you do nothing at all, the fire tapers off anyway, meaning you have to find new, happy events just to stay in the same place.
