Felix Unger, Oscar Madison and friends from the Odd Couple
I am in awe of two people I know. My sister's husband, John, and a new employee this year where I work named Katie. They are happy, peppy, and bursting with love. But they are genuine.
They do not come into your space and say "How are you,?" for the sake of it and walk away not caring. They really do care. They do not tell you to smile. They don't have to, because just seeing them automatically puts a smile on your face. You can't help it. They are dripping with happiness from their souls and that makes you feel good.
Some people are just that way and it radiates around them and flows out into the world. Maybe that is the way life is meant to be. I wish I was one of those people.
"You may think your attentive spouse, your loving children, and your good friends are what make you happy. But something else may be going on: The people they're connected with are making you happy too.
So suggests a new study proposing that happiness is transmitted through social networks, almost like a germ is spread through personal contact. The research was published Thursday in BMJ, a British medical journal.
It's the latest in a growing body of work investigating how our social connections--neighbors, friends, family, co-workers, fellow congregants at church and other associates--affect us. The premise is that we live in a social environment that shapes what we do and how we think and feel."
