This is what you do on your very first day in Paris. You get yourself, not a drizzle, but some honest-to-goodness rain, and you find yourself someone really nice and drive her through the Bois de Boulogne in a taxi. The rain's very important.

Happiness has nothing to do with what you have or don't have. Happiness is related to what you are.

Certainly unhappiness will increase with them, but they have no relation to an increase in your happiness.
