Are you Happy?

This is a very interesting question to ask. I think it goes back to the "I'm fine" Or "I just don't want to talk about it." When are we ever truely happy? When are we ever truely sad? Happiness and Saddness come from almost anything. Small things such as getting a good or bad test score. Or large things like winning on a Game Show or A family member dying. But being happy most of the time is temporary. You could be having a perfectly lovely day and then find out your grandma is in the hopital. Happiness has a way of changing rapidly into saddess, therefore, how genuinly happy can someone be at any given point of time? It could be true happiness, true joy, but how long can it last. How long can you actually stay happy without something going dreadfully wrong. I suppose this is the way of life though, always changing.
