And we question ourselves.
“Are you happy?”
"Not especially. Because I have a few issues that plague me.”
"Oh dear, I’m sorry to hear that. You see, I think there comes a time when a man has to ask himself;
whether he wants a life of happiness,
or a life of meaning.”
“I’d like to have both.”
Laughter.
A wry smile.
He shrugs and shakes his head.
"Can’t be done. Two very, different paths.
I mean, to be truly happy, a man, must live absolutely in the present...
no thought of what’s gone before, no thought of what lies ahead.
But, a life of meaning ---
a man is condemned to wallow in the past and obsess about the future."

"My guess is that, you have done quite a bit of obsessing about yours these last few days.”
Hail Mary.
