Am I truly happy?

I don't know too many people who are truly happy.

There are plenty of people who are just around the corner from happiness. And plenty more who used to be happy. Why is that?

Maybe people don't really want to be happy. Maybe happiness is a goal for people to work toward and if they reach their goal, they quit working, grow bored and lose their happiness.

Maybe happiness has it's own uncertainty principle. Do you remember that principle from your college physics class? The one that says the more precisely the POSITION is determined,the less precisely the MOMENTUM is known. Or in this case, the happier you are, the less you realize how happy you are. Which makes sense, because what happy person has time to stop and realize they are happy? If you have to stop and think about it, you just lost it.

Which takes us back to where this started. Am I truly happy?

D'oh!
