You are a connected system. What one part does DOES affect what happens in other parts. “Think positive” sounds okay to most folks, but “act like you’re enjoying yourself” actually DOES (often) increase your enjoyment.
Hmm, I can think of several mood altering agents that can trick Pig’s brain into feeling happy. One you can get at dispensary if you live in the right state, others might require bending a few rules……

Looks like Pig’s not ignorant enough to be blissful. Good for him.

my Grandfather used to say, “you might as well be happy, ‘cause nobody gives a damn if you’re not”!

I have a feeling it was Rat’s brain telling Pig’s brain to cut off the nonsense.
