The Happiness Index finds happiness continuing to fall for Americans.
The happiness industry doesn't appear to help produce long-term happiness, including those who profit from it.

70 years ago, my Tocayo's father scored his first hit in Major League Baseball.. On that day in 1955, Roberto Clemente debuted for the Pittsburgh Pirates in right field as a 20-year-old newcomer to the Steel City. 

As stated by the sports writers, "No one could see into the future that day, but according to Puerto Rican broadcaster and journalist Luis Mayoral, 'Clemente was our [Puerto Rico’s] Jackie Robinson. He was on a crusade to show the American public what a Hispanic man, a black Hispanic man, was capable of.”

She was watching me as I gave my seat to a Nun from Mother Theresa’s Convent in The Bronx. She moved closer, thanked and asked where I was from. I said it was the way I was brought up in Cuba. Following a short conversation, she said she was also a Cuban.

Coolness must be bestowwd and never claimed. Initially a descriptor of temperature, cool transitioned from referring to the environment to becoming a term for mental composure and rationality. Being cool is difficult. Staying cool is much harder. It’s an elusive quality, in part because it’s a word with layers of nuanced meaning that peel off as we travel through centuries.
