yes makes sense so this is like freud's superego. but i think this forced to be happy thing is very american. maybe its even opposite here if you ask people how things are nobody will say all great i'm fine, the standard answer is everything's shit as always but we somehow manage to survive. smiling happy people are suspicious.
so maybe the whole tupper thing is something cultural whether you aim for self optimization or just accept your fate as given. or to be honest just that you wanna fuck something
