my answer to Tim Andrews on Fetish of Happiness.

PS: I agree with you but be better to foot your thoughts on the law of physics.
PPS: I am writing this notes to top coz I realised I am not a good writer who carries his reader to the end of his words and I have some flaws in my argument. So I wanted to make the point on the very top of my text.

I know scientists hate us drawing links in between their findings and philosophy but if we believe that there is a universality in the laws of physics and us be a part of this universe from our pure existence, I think we have to look deep into the laws of physics sometimes to justify our thoughts, philosophy for life.
I also want to keep this short.
The second law of thermodynamics tells us the energy in the universe tends to a state of order where there will be no matter, thus the end of everything. (-273 degrees celcius) in closed systems which means there is no input from an external energy source. The electrons will always move from "hot" to colder one until reaching a point of balance at that "end"
that movement of electrons gives its "life" to the universe. When that movement will stop everything will end.
when there will be no opposites, everyone will be happy, and dead.
For our world, it is safe as long as sun shines above us.
For our society it is almost impossible to have a homogenous state of soul too but we can get close to it by an immense propaganda inequavial to the one carried out by Nazis.
There is energy in conflict, when there are opposing sides in the soul.
More poles you have, there is a higher velocity of exchange, thus a life more than vegatative existence.
Globalising happiness might be an utopian goal for some and it won't happen. The globalisation is a domain only accessible to us living in the advantaged societies. In these societies, we are trying to zero the possibility of any conflict by making everyone happy. With drugs and externally imposed reference points. When we will, somehow, catch the state of sheer happiness, this will be a dead society. So those in power will run their horses in the free plains of their own benefits without any resistance.
There is also the catch phrase of pursuit of happiness. Lacanian critique to this would be a reference to his object of petite desire.
You can at most get close to happiness, the moment you would call yourself happy would be a representation of your state of happiness thus only an image of it - unfullfilling version - not the real one. Let them explicitly tell us how happy they are every time they play nintendo wii with their friends after a dinner party over a glass of wine.
