I don’t mean like how happy you are today. I mean overall, are you satisfied with everything you are up until this point? For me, for an example, I have a decent job that keeps my head just above water. I have a loving family that I see every couple months or weeks. I have the freedom to do what I want, when I want. But, overall, I’m sort of lonely and exhausted from constantly working. So, on a scale of 1 to 10, I’m about a 6.
That’s a weird way to look at happy people. I feel happy with my life but that doesn’t mean that I don’t care or are ignorant of the world around me. It maybe just means that I recognize that I don’t need to spend energy on things I can’t influence and I can spend that energy on things to make my own life happy.
