Yes but now you don't get to eat bacon and you're eating tofu bacon instead. You're still alive, but are you really living?

More seriously, that quality of life decrease is now completely ignored. I think it's worth acknowledging that it's happening.

Yeah but so much of happiness is relative and pure mindset. If you never knew about bacon or forgot about it, you would be just as happy.

And at the end of the day, it’s more important to be happy
