Hello. This is the start of the blog. Welcome.
This blog is going to be about happiness and unhappiness, as the subtitle above states somewhat prosaically. It's kind of motivated by two thoughts. Firstly, I am increasingly noticing that people (generally) appear not to be very happy. Get on a tube, or a bus, or go into a shop, and you will see largely miserable faces. If you catch a snippet of a stranger's after work mobile phone call, it will almost certainly be unhappy in tone - complaining maybe, downright upset, possibly. A lot of my friends have, at one time or other, been unhappy. Secondly, all of this is in spite of the fact that all of our basic needs and more are catered to. No one's starving, are they? The whole country is undoubtedly better off than it was 50 years ago. The miserable mobile phone call is as likely as not into a new camera phone, possibly with personal organiser and GPS. So it can't be that.
So what is it, then?
