I disagree. Human beings are social creatures. Happiness primarily comes from healthy interpersonal relationships, not marriage/prison. In isolation, only the insane are happy. You can downvote and try to replace all human interaction with the screens, hate, and pets, but I can see right through your BS because I've been there. Tell me sex isn't important. Maybe you're content and you keep yourself distracted by being a workaholic and BSing with the people that are paid to be around you, but that facade and those relationships end the day your employment does. The sad truth is that before the screens, people entertained each other. Now we're addicted to the screens. Everyone seems to think happiness is on the other side of one. People are convincing themselves that they don't even need other people... Just need their next fix of screen time. The people on the screens have got us afraid of each other while the crime rate is at an all time low. Got us more likely to fight our neighbors than the people that are robbing us. And taters suck, nutritionally speaking, but I'm content with 'em as long as it's 25% cheese.

I said to my nieces "hapiness is like fire. Money, Lovers, Cars, Success... They are the sticks and logs. If you throw a log into a fire it will increase. But if there is no fire then it's just a pile of wood. You need even a little smal sparkle in you to be able to be happy with all the other stuff. If you have no sparkle, money and boyfriends are just a pile of wood"
Edit: sorry for any mistakes but I lost my glasses
Toys are only fun if you play.

So that's why Irish novels are so cheerful!
I think the Irish are still collectively lamenting the times, when there were not enough potatoes to eat.
