My girlfriend recently told me about an article she read in blah blah ville about how happiness is "abnormal"

if it's a chemical balance AND a chemical imbalance... does that mean it's good or bad? if it's not good and it's not bad, but everyone thinks it's good, then what makes it any less illusive than a full blown mirage? Well, actually, come to think of it.... it can either be real or illusive. Depending on how you look at it. It can be illusive in that it is not actually a positive... only a positive in that, it agrees with your body. But that doesn't make it more or less than a neutral in the crazy diverse array of life's energys. And it can be considered real in that it is an emotion, and it is there. We all identify it as being an emotion that we all experience. ahhhh. back and forth. I don't know if there is an answer for this.
but on any note... I was under the impression that every specific emotion is, for the most part, a response to 1 specific chemical. Of course, you've always got countless chemicals flowing around in your body, influencing your mood.... but isn't an emotion such as happiness a result of your brain releasing an abundance of 1 chemical that outweights the other chemicals flowing through your body? if that holds true(I'm hoping someone with more knowledge on the subject will either approve or deny my claim), then couldn't we consider happiness more of A chemical... rather than a chemical balance? I think (i'm not sure) that the chemical balance... is ALL human emotion.
