Happiness is...?

C.M. in Texas asks: "Can happiness be pursued?"


Yes, but you'll fail. Being chased is a real turn-off to Happiness and it will run away when it senses aggressive pursuit. The best strategy is to frequent establishments where Happiness is known to hang out, and then act aloof and nonchalant when it makes an appearance. This "maybe I wanna be happy, maybe I wanna be miserable" attitude you give off will peak curiosity, and an introduction may follow.
Misery, on the other hand, has no problem being openly pursued and can often be talked into going back to your place the first time you meet.
