“If you’re so smart, why aren’t you happy?”

Well, that’s a big question! It’s hard to be happy when you’re smart because a lot of gray areas get in the way. But we chase it anyway.

The Michael Jackson song got it right:

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could've been any clearer
If they wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change

Social media—and I’d say Twitter, in particular—has exacerbated people’s need to feel like they’re right. This behavior comes in the form of “dunking,” or responding to someone’s social media post in a self-righteous and sarcastic way, usually in a drive-by comment.

Rather than look inward, they just look everywhere else for something to be upset about.
