The Paradox of Choice

The Paradox of Choice is something that brings everyone together to share an exciting experience with each other. It's everywhere and anywhere. Even though sometimes, we know it's not there, it's still there. Loads of things are happening around world to everyone, everyday.
It might be something pleasant and something unpleasant. Depends on the situation and how you deal with it. Sometimes, it satisfies the person's need for happiness, yet we can also be complaining on what we already know/have. There are lots of reasons for what makes people happy and unhappy. Since everyone is different, there are also a lot of different reasons for the different feelings. Some might be the same, while others are different.
Johnny Carson showed us that he was not important because he was funny, cool, clever, but because he was the starting icon of modern pop culture. Another example would be "The 'Hey Ya' Moment". It bought happiness to everyone in the world. It kept everyone happy though this pop single, knowing that it was the most well-known song in the world for the past ten years.
I personally dislike this song because I have seen the way people act when this song comes on it may make them feel happy, but not me cause it's a slow and boring song. Everyone's happiness deals with the sense of freedom and controlling of what we want to be exposed to. Just like the people in the late 60s and the early 70s, they would rather watch the "Tonight Show" at 11pm, rather than important thing such as work and play. On the other hand, I've wasted a lot of time on the computer instand of studying for an upcoming tests.
I feel that rather than spending useless time on Facebook and chatting with my friends, I could've been getting the excellent marks in class.
