Happiness is an important part of our society; it is a fundamental goal that moves us forward and encourages us to continue pursuing our dreams. People are naturally wired to find satisfaction in life and to achieve contentment. We chase happiness to the point where we don’t even want to think about the negative things. We lock ourselves in a bubble where we only see the positive things we want. The picture puts a curve mirror on this phenomenon, as the artist treats it as a fact that accepting and letting the negative in helps us to experience more positive impulses and ultimately to live a happier and more balanced life. Fortune cookies are used as symbols people are familiar with, but in this case what is communicated to the viewer is a fact that is inevitable and certainly the most painful feeling in one’s life.
