Using Science to Explain Life (Part I?)
I have always viewed happiness and unhappiness as heat and cold, respectively.
In physics, things are naturally cold. It takes energy and excitement to create heat. There is no such thing as an absence of cold; only an absence of heat.
And yet, it is more complicated than that. It takes a certain amount of energy and excitement to heat up a system. After a threshold is passed, a system will heat up. Without sufficient constant energy and excitement, heat will dissipate and coldness will take over.
Continuous heating and cooling of a system causes stress. This stress may, depending on the system, actually destroy the system. Measures may be taken to mitigate or prevent stress, but it is generally advised to prevent as much stress as possible to prolong the life of a system.
I know this was a very convoluted explanation but it works for me.
On this humid night, I would give anything to feel some heat right now.

Oddly enough, your explanation makes complete sense.
