While you were out being a misanthrope, other people were busy actually enjoying their lives. At least that's what we've heard they do when we're not around. Being cheerful isn't exactly an innate skill had by all, so man, sometimes you gotta outsource that crap. There's a time and a place for being miserable.

What we're trying to get at here is that it's important to be receptive to the finer points in life, many of them being blessed images to brighten up that big ol' day. Sure, we could also practice mindfulness or some garbage like that, but we're busy people dammit, and we want the happiness zapped directly into our skulls at quite literally light speed. Does that count as commodifying emotion? Probably, if you want to be a wet blanket about it.

All we know is that when we see a dog wearing a hat, it makes us feel nice for a second. So try competing with that.
