the secret to happiness is serotonin - we're just machines.

I was trying to explain a similar concept to my father. I was explaining to him how powerful our perceptions are when it comes to our happiness. I was explaining to him that, for example, when I look at our house it looks big, spacious, comfortable. However, when he (and my mother) look at it, to them, it seems small, dated. This is because they are innundated with television images of people with those big modern houses, with those perfect little dinner parties and well-behaved guests. I find that when we stop trying to control everything, when we just let our minds take over, then we can find that ideal balance, we can just "be" without having to compare ourselves to everything.
