Happiness In Slavery

A song by the industrial metal group Nine Inch Nails, all credits to Trent Reznor.

TheThe video for Happiness In Slavery features performance artist Bob Flanagan ritualistically washing himself and removing all of his clothing before strapping himself into a machine that subsequently tortures, rapes and kills him. Meanwhile, Trent Reznor watches and screams the lyrics from behind a metal gate, which opens at the end of the video, leaving Trent to enter the room himself. The video was universally banned. All footage in the video was real, except for the final killing of Flanagan, as Flanagan often fought the pain of cystic fibrosis by inflicting malicious damage on his own body.

The song, released only on 12" promotional single and the EP "Fixed" (Otherwise known as Halo 5) was not however released on CD and does therefore not have its own Halo Number. Although promotional CD containing only the track as it appears on the Broken EP was released, this too had no Halo Number

Pure Happiness

Happiness is ever-increasing satisfaction, with pure happiness being such unhalted, like downing a good roll and not feeling any queasiness, or enjoying a song more each time it's heard.

happinology

A belief system whereby The Good Samaritan's deed has its everlasting rippling effect, but the story is never written down, never spoken of, never mentioned. Developed in 2001 as a way to speak of good deeds done without going into the details of its doneness so as to avoid elevating the doer and thus minimizing the deed.
Instead of coming home and explaining that you were just out in the rain, helping some elderly lady put a spare tire on her car so you can get a pat on the back and validation that you indeed do care, you would just say that you were involved in some happinology.
