Choice
Human have emotions. It is part of what makes us human. However, happiness is also a choice. While we cannot control situations, events that take place around us, we have a choice on how we react to them. Sometimes, emotions may overcome us, but that too shall pass, if we choose so.
Christopher deCharms' TED talk is interesting. What he's talking about is really the physiological piece of making this choice. Making a choice to be happy and positive is no longer just a psychological matter. When we can control our brain, we can control pain and everything else that the brain controls (such as emotions). Clinical trials show a 44-66% decrease in chronic pain patients from the brain-control techniques Christopher spoke about. Soon, we can control neural pathways that control our emotions, pains, elements that in totality makes an individual.
