I'm not unhappy. I try to have a certain amount of fun every day. I'm a believer in small pleasures and I work to enjoy them daily, and do have bigger pleasures a number of times throughout the year. Not every day is some ultra marvelousness, but "happy" doesn't mean elated. I don't have an "ideal" situation, as others would define it, but I don't live my life to meet goals that reach what others define as necessary for happiness.

There are many people who are rich and powerful that aren't happy. There are also people that are poor that are. To limit one's self to certain conditions for happiness is a pity.
