random conversation

"what do you want out of life?"

"what?"

"what do you really want?"

pause.

"to live a meaningful, fulfilling life and to make a positive contribution to those around me."

"mm-hmmm. what about happiness? don't you want to be happy?"

"nah. happiness is over-rated. and not a sustainable emotion."

"you don't even want to try for it?

"nah. it won't happen. life isn't fair, so happiness isn't realistic."

pause.

"you're one of those 'glass is half-empty' people aren't you?"
