Happiness, our default state

A random, unexpected string of joyful events tore the sulky mask off your face and imparted a subtle happiness to it.

You are walking around with a visible, wide smile grafted on your lips.
People in the street look at you, then look away, thinking that you are mentally unstable.
Acquaintances and coworkers ask you about the cause of your happiness. People close to you wonder, and some of them take it a step further and ask you, "why are you smiling?".
You realize how unnatural the external signs of happiness are. Laughing or smiling needs to have a reason, it also needs to be short lived.

A human that smiles all the time is looked at as either insane or fickle and unreliable. He could sometimes be perceived as irritating, as his disposition toys with our held beliefs that presents life to us as a series of troubles interspersed with brief moments of joy.  
We have to be and look serious, downtrodden, if possible, and beaten by life's circumstances.

Through this sober inclination, we also get our daily dose of addictive sympathy. 
People stopped being buoyant, they became austere, because we have being told to be serious and somber to fit within the mold of the general mood.

Happiness should be our normal temper, there is no rule that limits to festivities and happy celebrations.
Laughter and happiness doesn't need a reason, it should our default state.
A happy person flows with the universe, he is always healthy and full of energy. A sad disposition demoralizes the body and the soul. It creates tension and causes us to be an easy target for diseases and sad thoughts.
