happy?

if at the moment of death we are appraised about the life we lead, it will be interesting to know what will be used to consider a life being well-lived.  

The amount of wealth he accumulated, the amount of philanthropy he practised, the number of children he raised, the number of lovers he had, and whether or not he found true love.  None of these factors account fully for the happiness he had felt in his lifetime.  

What more when sometimes, people don't know themselves how happy (or unhappy) they are.  Sometimes, people believe that they don't have a choice.  (In fact, people who believe they don't have a choice have actually already made their choice and decided.)  Or maybe, some people trick themselves into not knowing how happy they are because they know that deep inside they are not.   

If there is anyone who can know how happy he is, it is the person himself.  It is the least we can do for ourselves, to know ourselves.  And the next thing to do, is to let no one compromise your happiness.

it is not an impossible task.  if there is trust, respect and honesty between people.  if there is love and acceptance.
