I think that perfect happiness lies in contentment. If you are content with
what you have, then you could be perfectly happy, no matter what your
situation is.

When I read this something popped into my head. Maybe during the year of
happiness you would create habits, like being content with what you had.
Even if you couldn't remember how you got those habits they would still be
good habits...
Even so, I don't think that I would want a year of 'perfect happiness'. I
don't think that it is all that it is made to be. I think that happieness
needs to have something to compare to. Wouldn't what we think of happiness
start to seem old after a few months?
