There
is
a
premise
that
underlies
a
lot
of
our
assumptions
and
beliefs
.
The
premise
is
that
happiness
is
algorithmic
,
that
it
can
be
worked
for
and
earned
and
achieved
as
if
it
were
getting
accepted
to
law
school
or
building
a
really
complicated
Lego
set
.
If
I
achieve
X
,
then
I
can
be
happy
.
If
I
look
like
Y
,
then
I
can
be
happy
.
If
I
can
be
with
a
person
like
Z
,
then
I
can
be
happy
.
This
premise
,
though
,
is
the
problem
.
Happiness
is
not
a
solvable
equation
.
Dissatisfaction
and
unease
are
inherent
parts
of
human
nature
and
,
as
we
’
ll
see
,
necessary
components
to
creating
consistent
happiness
.
The
Buddha
argued
this
from
a
theological
and
philosophical
perspective
.
I
will
make
the
same
argument
in
this
chapter
,
but
I
will
make
it
from
a
biological
perspective
,
and
with
pandas
.
The
Misadventures
of
Disappointment
Panda
If
I
could
invent
a
superhero
,
I
would
invent
one
called
Disappointment
Panda
.
He
’
d
wear
a
cheesy
eye
mask
and
a
shirt
(
with
a
giant
capital
T
on
it
)
that
was
way
too
small
for
his
big
panda
belly
,
and
his
superpower
would
be
to
tell
people
harsh
truths
about
themselves
that
they
needed
to
hear
but
didn
’
t
want
to
accept
.
He
would
go
door
-
to
-
door
like
a
Bible
salesman
and
ring
doorbells
and
say
things
like
,
“
Sure
,
making
a
lot
of
money
makes
you
feel
good
,
but
it
won
’
t
make
your
kids
love
you
,
”
or
“
If
you
have
to
ask
yourself
if
you
trust
your
wife
,
then
you
probably
don
’
t
,
”
or
“
What
you
consider
‘
friendship
’
is
really
just
your
constant
attempts
to
impress
people
.
”
Then
he
’
d
tell
the
homeowner
to
have
a
nice
day
and
saunter
on
down
to
the
next
house
.
It
would
be
awesome
.
And
sick
.
And
sad
.
And
uplifting
.
And
necessary
.
After
all
,
the
greatest
truths
in
life
are
usually
the
most
unpleasant
to
hear
.
Disappointment
Panda
would
be
the
hero
that
none
of
us
would
want
but
all
of
us
would
need
.
He
’
d
be
the
proverbial
vegetables
to
our
mental
diet
of
junk
food
.
He
’
d
make
our
lives
better
despite
making
us
feel
worse
.
He
’
d
make
us
stronger
by
tearing
us
down
,
brighten
our
future
by
showing
us
the
darkness
.
Listening
to
him
would
be
like
watching
a
movie
where
the
hero
dies
in
the
end
:
you
love
it
even
more
despite
making
you
feel
horrible
,
because
it
feels
real
.
So
while
we
’
re
here
,
allow
me
to
put
on
my
Disappointment
Panda
mask
and
drop
another
unpleasant
truth
on
you
:
We
suffer
for
the
simple
reason
that
suffering
is
biologically
useful
.
It
is
nature
’
s
preferred
agent
for
inspiring
change
.
We
have
evolved
to
always
live
with
a
certain
degree
of
dissatisfaction
and
insecurity
,
because
it
’
s
the
mildly
dissatisfied
and
insecure
creature
that
’
s
going
to
do
the
most
work
to
innovate
and
survive
.
We
are
wired
to
become
dissatisfied
with
whatever
we
have
and
satisfied
by
only
what
we
do
not
have
.
This
constant
dissatisfaction
has
kept
our
species
fighting
and
striving
,
building
and
conquering
.
So
no
—
our
own
pain
and
misery
aren
’
t
a
bug
of
human
evolution
;
they
’
re
a
feature
.
