100% Happy 88% of the Time

WHY ONLY 88%?
Anyone that tells you it’s possible to be 100% happy 100% of the time is conning you. America has to get over our 100%ism. We don’t even know where 100% of the matter in the universe is!
Maybe it’s because we're so young, or because we come from Puritans or because we are apple pie people. A pie makes it look like there is a 100% to divide up. And we love our pie charts. We love our pies!
America is 100% all the way! But trying to be 100% happy is setting yourself up for failure, which makes you more unhappy, which sends you into a downward spiral.
100%ism leads to pyramid schemes. My pyramid scheme is a little different. It actually involves learning about the pyramids. And then some!
