Happiness becomes real when shared.

If you have watched the movie "Into the Wild", just before Christopher McCandless dies in the movie, there's a part where he wrote a line that says "Happiness is only real when Shared".
At first I kind of questioned it. But thinking about it more deeply, I realized it is indeed true. I feel happy when I get to do things that I want to do alone. I am happy when I get to have stuff that I really want.
But I feel happier laughing out loud with a friend or doing something I love like watching a movie, together with a special someone. And definitely happier enjoying a hearty meal and a conversation with a family member.
Nothing beats the feeling when you get to share the happiness with someone else.

I get to laugh and share happiness with my son. I've not seem my other son in like 4 years and I miss laughing with him also. I talk on the phone and chat online with him but it's not quite the same. I miss my other family members to (my brothers, my sister, the kids who are growing up fast). But I need more people in my life but my son and I; we only have each other. I feel very badly for people who have nobody. I watched that movie before; my son did also. That was a very sad ending. Now that was based on a true story; it really happened. I like the young actor who played the part. He got to share in lots of happiness with different people; he didn't care about money (the real person).
