Sanguine77:
Being happy transcends euphemeral bliss. You maintain a facade of happiness; people aspire to be like you. You are gainfully employed where you earn a good salary; you just won a multi-million naira contract; your biz is doing wonderfully well; you just reached the pinnacle of your career; you are a top shot, a consultant, inestimable employee yet happiness eludes you.
You are in a wonderful relationship; your man dotes on you, provides all you need and pays for your vacation twice a year; your woman loves you to pieces yet sadness lingers. You are married to a wonderful spouse who loves you so much you want to cry; lovely and intelligent children who come out tops in school yet behind that smile lies a tormented and unhappy soul.
You have tried smoking, from cigarette to crack; you have dated many people and indulged in wild orgies; you have committed abortions so many times to make your man happy; you hit the bottle so hard that you are drunk even in the morning; you have pursued and acquired knowledge and education and has won accolades for your performances.
The question remains: Are you happy?
