Why is it so hip to be as miserable as possible?

Do you ever smell a flower and smile? Look I really like this question but I think the fact of the matter is that people can only make themselves happy, and when we're kids we're used to other things making us happy. Like those kids who go up to their moms and they go "I'm bored!" and she suggests things and then he's like "No I don't want to do that stuff... but I'm still bored!" I think if you want to be happy it's up to you and people don't take responsibility for their own enjoyment. Quit expecting things to happen and find new people and things to do.
