Happiness

Ah ennui, thy name is Zahra.

Someone asked me if I was happy, yesterday. What can I say? Well, yes, ok, I'm happy in the sense that a larger number of things are going well for me than are going badly. But is that enough? I don't know. One might think that in an ideal world, EVERYTHING one wants one should get, but that is no guarantee of happiness.

Happiness is more than merely wanting something and getting it, as any five-year-old will tell you. Heck I don't know, maybe I am happy right now and I don't know it. This could be happy, or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
