Who is happier?

        Happy people can be those who get married loving each other. Or those who can plan their future lives with projects like fairy tales, stories of superheroes, singers, or as a couple experiencing all this together. Happy people can be those who miss their partners. Happy people can be those who live the same way of living or, if they don’t have it, they enjoy life together, simply because the other is his love.
        Happy people can be lovers who met in the streets and exchange passionate kisses, ignoring people passing around them and they don’t mind their jealous glances, their prejudices because these people feel the same desire, but they don’t have a lover like that. Or, maybe, they don’t have a chance to rescue one.
        Happy people can be artists, celebrities and famous people who can exchange their partner when they find other new people. And they have the opportunity to illuminate their lives again. Because happiness is open for all, and only some people have the opportunity to choose other people like new products and new performances. As say their naive bystanders.
        Happy people can be those who can leave their homes every day for a job to make what they love. Because they can go outdoors to have fun and earn a good salary at the end of the week or month. Happy people can be those who can buy what they want and don’t need to wait for the best moment. Happy people can be those who can be cool with their friends or neighbours.
      Happy people can be those who have good health and were born with lovely faces, eyes with amazing colours and beautiful hair, and perfect bodies. And they can waste time and dedicate it to taking care of themselves. Happy people can be those who wear the best and strangest clothes and they are always beautiful and charming.
       Happy people can be those who are powerful and can make rules for all and can delegate power, and can help others and can solve their problems. Or those who can exchange favours and information to help each other. They can be experts on something and can say to others that life is not fair. And they can use their reasons and examples to demonstrate that the world belongs to people who work hard. And after selling these illusions they are proud and go to their beds and sleep well.
       Happy people can be those who live in this world and ignore people’s lives around them because they are lucky, and they can say to others how justice must run. They can choose their rules and can spread around their moral discourses. They can exclude others who are disturbing their trajectories. And despite this, they are applauded and celebrated like spoilt guys by their partners.
      Happy people, really, are those I have mentioned, and despite that, they don’t forget others, their neighbours who don’t have the same comfortable life and fortune.
