How much is happiness worth???

Happiness has many different levels... you could be happy with your career, happy in your relationship, or just happy to be alive. I've noticed in life happiness comes at a cost. Directly or indirectly. Sometimes someone else has to be unhappy for you to be happy. If you received that sought after promotion and a co-worker who happens to be a good friend did not, there goes there happiness right out the window. Which leads to another form of happiness. Someone being happy for you. Most of the time I seriously doubt that they are, but that's a topic for another day.

So what price would you pay or are willing to let someone else pay to make sure that you had one of those three forms or any form of happiness???

When do you know you've had enough?????

Is it when your effort isn't anywhere near 100%? Is it when you dread doing something that you previously loved to do? Is it when the smallest task seem so monumental? Is it when just the sight makes you visibly upset? Is it when that pep in your step has become a slight but steady drag???

Or Is it that you don't have or notice any of the symptoms above....because you've become so numb that you don't have any feelings at all.

2/6/09 Maybe the Stupid question of the day.

I was on the metro this morning, (the Red Line to be exact) and I noticed a man and a woman sitting across from me. They looked like two average people (not a couple or anything) they just happen to share the same seat. What made me notice them was the woman's raspberry barray.... you know the kind you buy in a second hand store. Don't act like you didn't like the song. Prince was the shit. That's a blog for another day. Anyway. Then I noticed that both of them had on barrays. Well let me get to the reason why I'm mentioning this situation.

Disclaimer time...I'm not the smartest man in the world, nor have I ever claimed to be. But....

To my knowledge (see disclaimer) women are the only gender allowed to wear barrays. The only time it's except-able for a man to wear a barray is if he's a Green Barray, in the Guardian Angels, or French.  So basically what I'm asking is......

 

Who is allowed to wear a barray?
