a direct link

So...Happiness results in good health? Good health results in happiness? Or maybe there's an underlying factor which results in both good health and happiness?

Or perhaps modern "science" has prostituted itself for grant money, and so whatever half-baked - and untested! - hypothesis makes the biggest headlines wins out?

Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy...... -Bobby McFerrin
