And They Lived (Un)Happily Ever After

Someone sent me an email about how to be happy. Much of the advice was silly but the most annoying one was not to read books that don’t have happy endings, because they will “poison” your mind. So we are basically supposed to trick ourselves into thinking that life is happy, by avoiding any non-happy (i.e. realistic) movies or books. I don’t see anything wrong in reading some books with happy endings and some with less than happy endings. Different things for different moods or different phases in our lives, perhaps.
