The idea of being unhappy in order to be happy is an interesting aspect to the case of happiness, but I do believe that it can help us become more grateful. It is always good to receive some insights from different people. I saw a website that provides happiness coaching and workshops, a great way for people to share insights and ideas.

I've found that going through the hard times results in stronger good times. Certainly a lot 'happier' when you have something to compare your happiness to. Very true.
