A question my best friend asked me about 10 years before he died...
Has been reverberating in my mind A LOT lately!

Are You Happy?

At the end it’s all about the experience we share with others in presence and remember how they made us feel.
I think a lot of people are... noisy. What I mean by this is, most people who have had NDE's will tell you, that moment when they knew what was happening, they faced this moment of, "Was it good enough? Was I happy?" and in a lot of cases the answer is a yes but I'd like to experience more, yet.
I think most of us are happier than we actually realize, but we are so focused and caught up in the day to day business and the things we take for granted that we don't even know it. But death, or the idea of, shines one helluva light on our lives.

Only in the last couple of generations has this question been something people think about. Classic first world bullshit. Can you imagine what your grandfather would say? He'd cuff you upside the head and say be a man, do what you have to do to fulfill your responsibilities. We are living in a snowflake society.

I nearly croaked, I'm happy to still be upright and can still wank one out.
What more do you need.

Was just a general question. He wasn't sick or anything at the time. We were just 'conversatin'.
Thats a bit of a tough question to answer. I dont think anyone is happy or filled with joy 24/7 365 days a year. Yes someone might be happy overall but everyone has bad days when they might be down and hate life and good days when they absolutely love life. Being in a state of happiness is in constant flux.
Sometimes. And that's normal.
For the vast majority of the time I'm merely content and comfortable.
But a tinge of ambition, exploration, passion, and experimentation keeps life interesting.

If anyone says they are happy 24/7, 365 days a year they are not running on all cylinders.
So true. All the materials things don't mean anything, beyond basic survival. It's the people in your life.
