Borrowed Happiness

Borrowed Happiness is a diagnostic term for Moral Capital used within the Materialist Christianity framework. It describes a temporary, frictionless state achieved by coasting on the momentum of someone else's moral labor, without contributing to the reinvestment cycle.

It is a form of structural and cognitive debt—acting as a phantom load that introduces entropy into the system and guarantees future collapse when the underlying moral capital runs dry.
