Are you happy ?
No one cares to ask me that.
And neither do I ask that question.
It’s because we’ve been foddered with staple greetings.
“How are you”
“What’s Up”
And of the course the “What’s on your mind” type social media driven questions…
None of the questions help with addressing the core of your being ‘Happiness’
We all strive for it.
I learnt this by asking this question to my 5 year old.
“Are you happy Chikoo?”
There’s a nod from her that can go either way - Yes or a No.
If it’s aYes - “What’s making you happy? Let me know… I’d love to hear it.”
If it’s a No - “That’s sad. Why are you not Happy. Let’s see if we can fix it.”
The world around us needs more of simple conversations.
Go ask someone if they are happy.
If they are happy - Share their joy. If they’re not - find a way to heal them. Go ahead - makes someone’s day.
