During the lunch break today, I went to the cafeteria and personally interrupted random people's lunch and handed them my surveys. Since they're mostly students, most of them understand my situation and were all willing to help. And it worked! The afternoon, I got a lot more responses in my happiness inbox I've put at reception. Yay!
Now that I've got the survey more or less done, Sharon's right, I need to start looking within myself and see what happiness is to me. After all, I can't make everyone happy. I had an epiphany from looking at these surveys that there is no possible way that one can tell others how to be happy.
What I think I should be thinking about is how I can interpret happiness in a more open-ended manner and allow the audience to interact with the work with their own imagination. But at the same time, I want to be able to create something concrete that will help my target audience to hang on to when they feel lost. A classic push and pull dilemma I'm in.
