i was on a bus on my way home and a guy i haven't seen in my life told me "let me be the one" yes ! he just looked at me and said let me be the one, isn't this just a bit weird? and when i got up to walk away he was actually surprised that i was leaving and then he acted like he didn't know i was leaving, it was a bit confusing, what do you think the guy ment by telling me "let me be the one" to a complete stranger that he doesn't know. later during my day i came across a woman who asked me if i was unhappy! wait this one wasn't outside the blue we were speaking and she suddenly asked me if i was unhappy. honestly i think i was in the middle of happy and unhappy actually. i started thinking of my pass and the present and everything during that moment and i went completely blank. it funny how you could be so fine right now and suddenly fade away from the face of the earth so quickly. what if i was about to ask you the same question..i wonder what you would say....i would go ahead and ask anyway. dear reader are you happy?

I would say that the answer to anything depends on the answer applicable to the person seeking the answer, or to the person whom to the question has directly come. "Are you happy?" is perhaps a pointed question, implying that most of the time, you probably are not happy. The thing is that, you are always happy at some level, but things just cover over this happiness, such as sadness, depression, anger, even blankness, when underneath it all, all always remains, your natural state of happiness. Happiness is who we are. The other states are all mere dilutions of the underlying happiness pool that we all swim in.

oh well if you put it like this then i guess it could be, but in a way i don't get it, are you saying that i know the answer to what the guy said ? or am i just completely lost. oh well most of the time i smile, even when i cry i smile and it wired because i can't stop myself from smiling most of the time, growing up i was bullied alot so i always smiled to cover up how i felt,i guess i spend most of my life doing it that it's just a happy now. that's so true because deep down i know that i can be happy, i know i have alot to be thankful for you know. today i played some videos of myself singing and i seemed so happy. i ended up smiling and laughing at myslef in that video, in my mind i simple told myslef, where is this girl? happiness is sometimes lost but it's lost inside us, we just have look deep within to find it, you sure sound like someone who's enjoying life to the fullest i must say, i don't blame you, life is short we have to make the best and most of it as possible. thank you for sharing so much with me, i really did enjoy reading what you had to say.

@Merliva Yes, I agree with you there. "Happiness is sometimes lost, but it's lost inside us, we just have look deep within to find it." I think that this applies to everything else too, though. All answers are to be found within our own selves. The true teacher is our own self. This true teacher, is timelessly present, in our heart. I think that when we get a message from someone else, it is often, a sort of "Golden tongued wisdom" message coming from ourselves, that has been reflected back to us, from the outside of us, for us to notice. When he said to you, "let me be the one." This message is reflecting the message also coming to you from your true self, which also wants you to be this true self, and to let it be the one that you really are inside. We all need to be our real self, and live from it, as this true teacher, that we are in our hearts, too. We need to drop the fears in our minds, and the endless seeking of answers with our minds to do this. Our seeker must disappear. We already are what we are seeking. The seeker in our mind should do nothing more than point us to our real selves, in our own hearts.
