Happiness is a Choice

The great irony of the phrase is that, if true, it negates the need for the poster in the first place. Because if happiness comes from each person internally, then it can't be foisted on others via poster or otherwise, and there's no point in trying. It's like having a big poster proclaiming, "You'll have to decide for yourself if you like bacon." Factually true, yet with a clear agenda, one which will nonetheless affect precisely zero tastebuds.

That would definitely not be a go -we cure our own in store (and it smells fucking wonderful -which is mean at 6am when I'm ready for second breakfast but too busy to stop &/or only have a granola bar....). It is mandatory to like bacon, even if you're Vegan. Which is OK too.

Au contraire, I love the smell of coffee, but hate the taste and never drink it.
