There is no source of happiness if you are unable to appreciate every single aspect of life and make the most out of it. Happy weekend to everybody! | |

You are not the only person who reasons that way, believe me. I wish you good, enjoyable business and happiness. All the best. Chris | | | A little bit of everything - take two | Feb 13, 2009 |

See more Well, isn't it obvious that all of those answers apply to all of us to some extent (except for the part about kids - not all of us have them)? But that wasn't the question, from what I understand. The question was which one of those is taking up the most room. The word 'main' doesn't necessarily mean absolute majority, and my interpretation suggests that here, it indeed means relative majority. In short, the question is which is the dominating source of happiness. Most of the possible answers apply to me. But the one that applies most - I seem to be with the relative majority here - is my significant other. He is probably the person I spend the least time with, but that little time matters more than the rest. ▲ Collapse | | | Pages in topic: < [1 2 3 4 5] > | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Poll: What is your main source of happiness in life?
