Happiness

Can happiness exist without sadness? too often we find ourselves in a quandary of balance... balance between yourself and everyone and everything else. sometimes this struggle pinpoints itself between a reach of character, but more often than not, the conflict exists as a result of balancing yourself and the other person. i struggle to find peace and quiet between any of these entities and in return, i meet disappointment and its ugly, repugnant face. no, happiness cannot live without sadness, but we continue, knowing we cannot live without happiness. in the vein of christopher mccandless, happiness only real when shared.
