The relativity of reality

(Inspired by a chance status update on FB)
Are people really as happy as they seem to be? With their trophy spouses, posing in front of exotic locations and delectable cuisines? 
Isn't there a real life somewhere- one, where the pains of everyday disappointment are not masked by fake smiles? One, where the place settings on the breakfast table isn't just-so-right with the orange juice and the fluffy omelettes? 
It is every person's wish to be successful and happy. Since we cannot be happy all the time we invent little manifestations of our has-been happiness- postcards, events, joyful words.
And when we start living the lie, we find it hard to accept reality.
