If someone said are you happy? What would you say? Would you say ‘of course’, because you are. Would you say ‘I am’ because you felt that was the right answer and the opposite is too embarrassing. Would you consider what happy means? That it’s something that comes around sometimes and it’s just not possible for it to be there all the time. Would you say ‘sometimes’ because sometimes you are and sometimes you’re not. Would you consider that balance and try and decide which way it tilts?
(It was just thought, but it’s a ridiculous question. Since we never really ask it.)
