Fictitious Felicity
Why is it so hard to be happy? You strive to find happiness; you plan your entire life in pursuit of goals that you believe will make you happy—getting a college degree, traveling the world, making more money, helping others, creating a masterpiece, etc….
But why is it that even after achieving those goals you soon find yourself despondent again?
Do these findings depress you because you realize that your current state of happiness is the happiest you’ll ever be? Or do these findings liberate you because you realize that if your level of happiness is predetermined then it doesn’t matter what you do in life, you’ll still be as happy or as unhappy as you are now?

Weird Turn-ons
So I looked up other odd turn-ons:
pogonophilia: love of beards
klismaphilia: feeling pleasure from enemas
gynotikolobomassophilia: love of biting female earlobes
ecdysiophilia: love of watching people strip
acrotomophilia: love of amputees
And because there is such a fine line between love and hate, here are some phobias:
hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia: fear of the number 666
hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia: fear of big words
