Happiness quotient: H=R/E
Happiness equals reality divided by expectation - is based on the universal truth that you always have some expectation for what is to come. In other words, E is always a real number, since you cannot divide by zero.
But when you invert the equation - expectation divided by reality - you don't get the opposite of happiness. What you get, instead, is hope.
Pure logic: Assuming reality was constant, expextation had to be greater than reality to create optimism. On the other hand, a pessimist was someone with expectations lower than reality, a fraction of diminishing returns. The human condition meant that this number approached zero without reaching it - you never really completely gave up hope; it might come fooding back at any provocation. Someone who is happy would have little need to hope for change. But, conversely, an optimistic person is that way because he wants yo believe in someyhing better than his reality.This is a way to count happiness by means of Economics which I read from a novel. It just surprised me, then, because I thought it was almost out of the question that motion can be analyzed by logic. I think it makes sense, though.
Now I just come to realize that even having 3 hours free or simply hanging out can be the core of happiness. Capitalism has been ruined our definition of bliss. To name a few, everything is counted by money. It's not love that makes the world go round anymore. Instead, it's money that takes control of world. It's upset, depressing and ,most important of all, cold. While the weather is getting hotter because of carbondioxide and any other green house effect, human world is ironically getting colder than ever.
Why is that? We are all in pursuit of money (if you see money as happiness.) And there must be some people ripped off by those so-called winner in financial competition. Once we are not satisfied with each of our own pies, we are going to steal and cut extra stuffing from others' pies.
Greediness is deeper than Mariana Trench, larger than the black hole and almost the same as the end of the world.
There is a study showing that why Denmark is the happiest country in the world. As you can tell, if it's enough, then Danish won't ask for more. In terms of the quotient, their reality is not that much higher (it is good, though) as that much lower as their expectaion.
Still improve the reality, but try to lower the expectation at the same time.
