"There are people out there who feel extreme frustration and disturbance by other people's joy and happiness. When they see someone having a good time or smiling, such people make it their duty to put an end to their happiness. These people want happy people to live in constant fear and anxiety as well as feel miserable just like themselves. Their intentions are very similar to those of Nurse Ratched's. Putting an end to Chief Bromden's rare joy during a basketball game or Billy Bibbit's happiness and confidence are great examples of such evilness displayed by Nurse Ratched."
