Imagine you and your friends are playing a game where everyone has to say they’re happy all the time. But when someone feels sad, they have to pretend they're still happy. Eventually, people might start ignoring their real feelings because they don’t want to break the rule. That’s kind of what happens in a world with constant happiness, no one can be truly upset or excited anymore.
What Happens Next?
If everyone is always happy, they won’t understand how to deal with sadness or anger. Life might feel less real and more like a never-ending party.
