A Conversation on Happiness
Do you feel happy?
Yes.
How do you know?
I don’t.
So why do you sound so sure?
I don’t know.
Explain please.
Well I’m not happy all the time, or even most of the time, but I still continue living.
But when you were depressed, you were still living then, no?
No. I was not living,
Rather I was just alive.
I don’t understand.
Neither do I.
How can you say something you don’t understand?
How can anyone understand anything if it’s not meant to be understood?
You’re bizarre.
I know.
Yes.
How do you know?
I don’t.
So why do you sound so sure?
I don’t know.
