key to happiness

So I remember one Christmas, GAP had a campaign of smiling happy people wearing colorful scarfs.

Being the marketing sheep that I am, I became convinced that the key to happiness was the ownership of such a scarf. So I went to GAP and soon came to the realization that happiness did indeed have a price. And that price was something along the lines of 40 dollars.

Although not an exorbitant amount to pay for happiness, it was after all, just a theory and already the thought of paying that amount for a scarf made me unhappy. I decided against it. Maybe happiness would go on sale in the spring.

That Christmas I received the very same scarf from a friend. And it made me happy.
