Being single is not happy
The other day I had an interesting conversation with a friend, who asked me the question "Who is the happiest person you know?"
Ask yourself this question now. It's difficult to answer, isn't it?
There are certainly people around me who seem to be happy, but the happiest person I know? I couldn't easily come up with an answer.
The conversation with my friend proceeded with him saying, "You seem happy, but it's so easy for you; you live in Cornwall by the sea, you work for yourself, and you have all the freedom in the world because you're single."
