    I am the first one who selected 0-10?!?

    Everything regresses towards the mean, given enough time, and as I am an optimist - the slight skew is to the positive side.

      Joy is a survival asset; miserable people tend to self-select for an early demise, directly or indirectly. Happier people would tend to live longer on average, swinging the mean towards joy as measured in existence - hours.
      No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

        numerous studies involving cancer patients have shown that positive thinking/happiness/etc does didley**** for survivability

        if anything, misery hardens you to the struggles of life, making you more likely to survive

        joyful idiots have zero awareness and get hit by cars every day
        To us, it is the BEAST.

                        In English, a lasting bad thing is a sequela, because we hate women.
