Happy compared to before shit happened.
You can't say X happens to group A or B with uniform results, hence uniform reactions. The same shit affects everyone differently, for example...

If I come out of the market and have a flat tire, it's an aggravation. I've got a spare, and if I have the time AAA will come change it for me. Also if the tire is trash, I can buy a new one without a second thought.

Now single mom, with 2 kids in tow, comes out of the market with barely enough food to last till her empty SNAP account gets refilled, and $1.67 in her pocket. That same flat tire, it's a fucking catastrophe.
