According to your stats, the country that actively pursues happiness is only half as happy as the country not pursuing happiness. So then, should we be pursuing happiness, or do we gain happiness through pursuing other things? Also, to what degree does happiness (a neutral to positive term) equal complacency (a term with negative connotations)? I'd be interested in seeing how you would elaborate on those aspects of the subject. Cheers! You touch briefly on the difference between stated American and Canadian ideals.
