You know all those articles about how being happy will make you live longer? The ones that imply you should just decide to be happy in order to increase your longevity?
Well, in case that wasn't working out so well for you, here's another perspective: being grumpy helps you make better decisions. Straight from the BBC. (Figures it would be the Brits to discover this, eh?)
They do note that happiness is better for creativity, which brings into question the whole "tortured artist" thing. So I suppose us moody people must have the best of both worlds.

I don't believe the happy=more creativity formulation. I would like that to be true but like so many folks, my output just explodes when I'm blue.
Fortunately, I'm not writing much now!
