Are you happy? Before you answer, remember there is a distinct difference between being happy and feeling joy. In the same way there is a difference between being awake and waking up. As joy is only temporary, a short-lived burst of feeling. An explosion of colours and laughter, and in that moment you think "yeah, maybe im alright". But that sensation will dissolve and you will be left feeling empty, whereas happiness is constant and reasuring. Now can you answer my question. Are you happy? or are you still waking up.
