Happiness and Pop Culture
Pop culture makes you happy, you can't doubt that. We always have that temporary joy from some thing that entertains us like; movies, television, books, music, the internet. These sources vary our happiness level and our happiness will, and always, decrease. For an example of this; a new movie comes out, you are very excited for it and when you see it for the first time, you are very happy, but just for that time. We will lose interest in it. Sometimes we do remember that happiness and interest in a thing but it does fade, again. For an example of this; the DVD for that movie you were so happy to see that you have forgotten about because of the time that has gone by, with the movie on DVD now now you are having rekindled happiness that you have towards that movie again.

This totally happens to me all the time. I get all hyped up about a movie, I see the movie, have a "high" from all the excitement, and then it slowly dwindles. It can dwindle to a point where I totally forget about it until I see posters and commercials for the DVD.
ReplyDeleteIf the connection people feel to objects decreases, why do people hang on to things for so long? Some people just can't get rid of things, even though the happiness factor has long since gone away.
