Abstract

For years, we have been taught that happiness is synonymous with accumulating material and social goods. On one hand, earning enough money to acquire a house, a car, or a certain type of clothing suggests the social value a person holds in society.
If we add to this the creation of a traditional family, with children and ideally a pet, then we will have achieved the ideal standard. In other words, the concept of happiness has been linked to meeting a series of requirements that lead to becoming exemplary citizens, which are far removed from true exemplarity and good values, and more closely associated with well-being and consumerism.
This is further influenced by social media, where we aim to showcase only the good aspects of our lives, leaving aside the darker parts that surround us.
