Turns out those late days happiness is more and more confused and melted within consumerism. People is lured to believe happiness can be achieved by buying and owning loads of useless stuff. Is the weakness of exhibition, a weakness publicity exploits over and over again.
Unfortunately, this sort of instant of happiness vanishes as fast as it comes. It's nothing but a plastic wrapped instant happiness with a short effect. The scam where it lies is however easy to understand:

'A' produces "stockpile f BS 2000", hires a couple of publicity agencies in order to leave to you the message the reason why you're unhappy is because you've not "stockpile of BS 2000", in the next day however those same agencies are paid to make you believe you're unhappy because you have "stockpile of BS 2000" while the true happiness lies on "stockpile of BS 3000" which has just reached the stores. Lately they will come with BS 4000, 5000, 6000... in a vicious cycle where the most important is that you never achieve true happiness (Otherwise you wouldn't buy the next version of BS they want to sell you).

Happiness, the real and durable one, is however extremely cheap, if not free, and easy to achieve. It comes out of the most simple things on life, children, family, nature. All happiness is around us, freely to be explored and felt, we are just by many times lured to not see it by those whom see happiness where it can't be found; money; turns out also nobody can be happy at other's misery expenses, so the whole consumerism system seams to have lots of flaws on both sides.
