You sound like the people in my chemistry class who say things like "don't describe subatomic particles as happy when they're in low-energy states."

There's no financial incentive big subatomic has for pretending its particles are happy, though.

Well given the names of quarks I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that a particle could be happy. After all apparently a particle can be strange, so why not happy.
