Happy. We use this word all the time. "I'm so happy to see you!", "I'm so happy to have you in my life.", "I met a hot chick last night, I'm so fucking happy." And the list goes on.. But really, what does it take to be happy? I mean watching the Sun rise/set makes me happy, but not everybody feels the same way right? So how.. How does one define happy. How does one know or learn to be happy.

On one side of my tiny little world I have people claiming they are so happy, their lips are cracking from all the smiling. And then the other side, are telling me how much life sucks. Again it all boils down to the same thing. How can happiness or sadness be measured. There's no Richter Scale of any sort to tell you what's okay and what's not.

I've realised that sometimes to be happy, you've got to be selfish. And I have come to terns with that. I don't mind being selfish because it doesn't pay to be selfless. Trust me. Well unless of course being selfless makes you happy. Then I'll feel extremely sorry for you.. Otherwise, be selfish. Reality has shown me that selfish people are the happiest at the end of the day.
