This can be clearly shown by comparing two different lives, but with those same happiness, one is leaning upward over time to increase happiness throughout their lives. Other lives are constantly leaning downward. Happiness is equal, but the first person's life seems more satisfying. There is always good expectation in the future, things are always getting better.
