Some of Griswald's main arguments are about how people are happy about things that don't have to be real; just what the mind tells them is happening to make them feel happy. He gives examples about if a celebrity were to ask someone on a date and it really wasn't the actual celebrity but someone who was pretending to be this person and was really convincing. To that person who thinks he or she is being asked to go out on a date is really happy because they think that this person is really interested in them. But what they don't know is that it’s not the real person and Griswald asks the reader the question is this happiness? Even though it isn't the truth. He Also says that being happy is being content, which I agree with. If you’re content about your situation and you move along everyday with out a worry then you should be happy since you have nothing to stress about. What happiness means to me is pretty much what Griswald says about happiness and that is being Content. I live a normal life where I don't do much but go to school and hangout with friends but I'm fine with that so I guess I'm happy because I have yet to complain. Now if Morpheus were to come to me as he came to Neo I would think that he’s a crack head and wouldn't care and go back to living me normal life. Which in a way puts me where Cypher' wants to be plugged into the matrix and living in a fake reality I guess and yet still living a normal life that I'm okay with.
