There are 8 billion people living on this planet.
How many do you think are happy?
Yes, they might have bad days, or sometimes feel sad, but listen. How many people do you think are generally content with their lives? That never have a lingering loneliness or desperation on their minds? That enjoy their lives, no matter what they do? Take a step back and think.
We are living in a world of unhappiness.
A place of depression, and abuse, and rape, and eating disorders, and racism, and sexism, and poverty, and self-harm, and self-hate, and starvation, and pollution, and suicide, and murder, and sickness, and discrimination and sadness. But the thing is, humans are the ones causing everything. We are the ones crushing our own aspirations. So many people are suffering from these problems, and so many are striving for happiness.
What an abstract idea it is. A fragment of a dream.
We put on masks, hiding the reality. We bury our emotions, appearing to be something we're not. Next time you see someone, reflect on the possibilities. Most of us are fighting a war. Whether it be a small one, or a big one, it's a battle none the less.
So, I will repeat my question.
Out of the population of 8 billion people living on this planet, how many do you believe are happy?
Think.
