are they?

...
are they happy?
you mean..?
people around the world
...
I mean right now, just now?
maybe
are they alone?
some.
still happy?
maybe
and the others?
maybe
why would they be happy?
they inherently have it
have what?
happiness, you don't earn happiness, you're born with it
what about us?
what about you?
I've never been happy
never?
I've never felt it inside me growing, but rather it came suddenly and disappeared soon after
happiness doesn't grow anyway, it's just happiness. either there, or not.
what if it doesn't exist anyway?
it does. what else would it be?
just the absence of grief.
