The Groucho Marx Tendency on Individual Happiness

The Groucho Marx tendency can cause detrimental effects on one's happiness due to several reasons:

1. The toil required to acquire something is not a good indicator of worth.
2. The people who have this tendency may easily fall for the traps of self-interested actors - like how markets raise the prices of their goods so that we'd consider them more valuable than it actually is.
3. It doesn't help us perceive the importance of what's actually good for us, physically and emotionally.
