WHAT THE HELL ARE HAPPY DAYS ?

A never-ending bunch of smiling faces, perfect bodies, dangers, viruses, lies, quizes, proposals, suggestions, adverts, prizes, promotions, news… invade our lifes daily, offering us the truth, that what is better, the most profitable for us, which will endlessly bring us happiness.

What is right and what is not. Not without making us forget all the changes and really important questions related to our lives.

An age in which it looks like everything is changingdizzily when it really is not, which causes uncertainty and anxiety.

Happy days look for the reflection, the shocking effect, the surrealistic and monstrous of the reality surrounding us, which we asume and take for certain without any kind of trouble or doubt.

The direction of a society, whose cardinal value is massive happinnes dragged along inavoidably to produce and consume joyful messages, ready to provide, anytime, an extra dose of direct satisfaction.

Happiness has been selfdeclared the ideal solution for the deficit of the actual societies, and happy days plays with this axiom.

Happy days insist on hiding every tasty thing, do not want us to get deep into things, they want us to be superficial. Happy days are, no more no less, the smiling face of a society attending to the sattelite broadcasting of its own destruction.

Information’s speed creates the emotion and dilutes it at the same time.

Who is telling the truth? face, position, voice. Everyone deceives, they all pretend to be what they really are not, and no one knows himself. Meanwhile, a desert advances slowly under the shadow of the happy days, and almost no one cares, because they are all too occupied trying to smile, trying to appear fine on the photo. I wonder how would the never sleeping people do to wake up…

From now on, you will get all the happiness you need.
`Stay tune for more Happy Days…’
