I disagree with this equation because it makes no sense.
Happiness = Expectations (10) - Reality (6)
Happiness = 4
Happiness = Reality (6) - Expectation (10)
Happiness = -4
When expectations are low, it makes even less sense.
Happiness = Expectations (2) - Reality (8)
Happiness = -6
Happiness = Reality (8) - Expectations (2)
Happiness = 6
