The only superpower

Meanwhile we will have a problem at work, have a fight with a friend, lose cool on somebody and then we will be sad. We will be constantly oscillating between happiness and sadness.

If we are sad, we will not rest there. we are constantly trying to be happy. we might go to a park, listen to music etc. so whatever we do the ultimate goal is to be happy.
