unhappy emotions not allowed
I figured out a big problem with American culture. Our culture doesn't allow anyone to feel sad, or bored, or to have a bad day, to do anything that is unpleasant. We have to be happy, excited, entertained, thrilled, or pleasured, all the time; anything less is considered unacceptable.
This creates a lot of people who are miserable and who are slaves to emotion, who make decisions emotionally rather than rationally. I know this from looking at other people, and also because I have this problem myself.
This seems kind of obvious now that I've written it, but it didn't seem obvious before and it's an important point.
