“This is how these things go~“

People are happy for all sorts of reasons. Great reasons, good reasons, dumb reasons and even bad reasons. It seems that one can get happy from just any sort of reasoning.

One of the all-time favourite reasons is food. Just about 9.83 of the 10 people I tortured interviewed mentioned food as a possible reason for feeling happy. Food, if you don’t know, is any substance that can be consumed by living organisms (like us) in order to sustain life. Unlike plants, we need to eat.

Fact: Humans do not photosynthesize.

So how does food relate to happiness?

Well, eating makes people full. A full tummy means that you’re not hungry. When a person is not hungry, he/she is far less cranky/moody/touchy. Thus, giving the impression of being happy. That is, full people are generally happy people.

However, not all types of food make people happy.

Researchers call food which makes people happy as comfort food. In this regard, different people have different taste. Women generally tend to prefer sweet foods: chocolates, cakes, ice cream etc etc. While men on the other hand would eat just about anything as long as it tastes good.

Personally, I find this fact- that certain food makes people happy, nonsensical. It’s pure and utter bullshit that food-sellers make so that people buy what they are selling. It’s marketing at its best. Come on, Happy Meal? Seriously people~

On a totally unrelated note, I need to stop cursing. I think it’s the crippling workload. All work and no play makes for a stress-filled and boring existence. Therefore, to compensate for it I curse. I’m officially undergoing a self-enforced anger management course. That’s no cursing, swearing or death-wishing people from me.

Smile Hafiz, just keep smiling. Anger is useless.

Come to think of it, some people don’t even need a reason to be happy. I’m like that. Hoho..

Til my next post, don’t be useless.

“Peace~~”
