Too simple and too good
Another inspiring message from the Oatmeal. Very straightforward in the nicest way . it's adds focus and smiles in a clear message .

Amusing read that made me giggle a few times. I also never considered that you don't necessarily have to be unhappy when you're not happy. Fun read.
Generally I liked this. The title is a little misleading, although that's not a drawback. It's more about Inman's perspective on happiness and how he doesn't have a generally upbeat attitude, and is okay with that. It's interesting, or rather it gave me something to mentally chew on. I agree that with Inman that happy/unhappy is a false dichotomy and assume that I would also find his views on optimism and pessimism interesting.
Also reminded me of my longtime friend. We had a reoccurring conversation comparing and juxtaposing “happy/happiness” and “content/contentment” 😁
