I do
Yes, that's what I meant. There are a few exceptions (real deep lows) but also these last only a fraction of the time they used to last in the past. So I think there is definitely an upward spiral.

But I guess happiness is a double-edges sword: The obsession with the concept of happiness can create the unhappiness that people still perceive on their quest for "100%" happiness. To be quite honest, I do not have to be 100% happy all the time. I notice lows/unhappiness as they appear and that is just fine. They will go away anyway.
