Downright joyful, in fact.

I’m happy, in part, because I frequently ask myself, ‘Am I happy?’ And almost always, the easy and truthful answer is, ‘Of course, I am.’ Even when I’m unhappy, I’m happy about being unhappy. I remind myself that I have a right and a moral obligation to be unhappy. Over some of the ways of the world. Over the acts of certain people, especially politicians. Yes, I’m happy because I’m doing the right thing. Standing up. For my beliefs. I don’t mind being contrary. Actually, that makes me very, very happy. Downright joyful, in fact. --Jim Broede
