In a scale of 1 to 10, how happy are you? It's a great topic when you're buzzed but when you're asked this during your midday procrastinations, it can get be very disconcerting.
I met up with buddies in Moksha and because we were pretty tipsy this time, the conversation naturally gravitated towards happiness or the lack of it. I was surprised that quite a few shared their feelings of unhappiness, inadequacy or brokenness though in varying degrees and forms. I wasn't surprised that a lot of my friends felt this way. I think i was taken aback more by the admission than by its reality. I think i've always felt that even the most successful and blessed person isn't really completely happy. I guess it's human nature. And though we may take comfort in the knowledge that we're not alone in our sadness, in reality, we really are. Every individual's grief is unique. It is personal. And no one can deal with it other than yourself.
