Episode notes
Happiness is not a destination but a direction to travel in, implying that it is unrealistic and even undesirable to seek to be happy 100% of the time. Negative emotions like sadness, anger, fear, and disgust provide important information about the outside world and are essential for survival. Trying to eliminate these 'bad feelings' would eliminate vital survival instincts and hinder passing on genes.
