I don't mean you disregard every rule of your community. I don't go around naked, for example. I don't run through red lights. The little things, I can obey.

Happiness in a tablet. This is our world. Prozac. Daxil. Xanax. Billions are spent to advertise such drugs. And billions are spent purchasing them. You don't even need a specific trauma, just 'general depression' is enough, or anxiety, as if sadness is as treatable as the common cold.
