Incept Happiness

The concept behind Inception:

If I say "Try not to think of an elephant."
All you're gonna do is think of an elephant for the next few moments.
It's impossible, and proves that direct thought suppression just doesn't work. The more and more you try not to tihnk of something, the more you're thinking about it.
In fact, subconciously, you're gonna be thinking of an elephant all fecking day.

Now what's the life lesson you are trying to tell us here Conor? I hear you ask.

Well, remember when you had that bad day and you were crying because everything was going wrong? Everyone has one. And then either your best friend, or your mum, or whoever comes, puts their arms around you and says "Just try and forget about the bad times. Concentrate on the good times"

That makes sense doesn't it? As it'll make you happy for the next few seconds as your brain is caught up in the hope of the future.

But in doing so, your friend, or parent or whatever, has planted in your mind the concept of trying to forget bad times.
And you will never forget about trying to forget. It will stick with you forever, as thought suppression doesn't work.

So instead of tackling the bad times head on and sorting them out, you push them to the back of your mind as they begin to eat away at you, and subconciously, they will fuck you up.

Solution? There is none. Vicious circle and all that jazz.
