Happiness is generally a perception and is also very relative in absolute terms from person to person and the masses.

Yes... because people have different experiences and outcomes and their settings (socialization) instills different sets of expectations. so the outcome will always differ but it's very much a product of that formula.


How did you arrive at this formula?


Is it a formula in the 1st place?

It is... you haven't proven much to the contrary.... you are happy when the outcome of an event in your life equals or exceeds expectations.

It's amazing how pride covers up for foolishness.

Foolishness in turn searches for pseudo-formulae for 'happiness' etc.

Extrinsic approvals, enemies, vain ideologies...

Agreeing with me at whatever percent isn't a virtue, it's just an indication of shallowness.
