And I break the ice

My sincerest apologies, Aloke. I cannot wait anymore. For when I'm bored, or want to avoid work, or am in these creative moods, I have to write. And an untouched blog is simply too tempting. The first issue I propose is:

Background: Today morning, I concluded that true happiness is people-independent. In the sense that, although we care and love and are hurt and all of that, there has to be this untouched inner core. Otherwise 60 years of ups and downs in human relationships will drive us crazy. The conclusion seemed pretty reasonable and indeed, wise.. until today evening. I was feeling a bit depressed, just one of those moods when you feel you can't do anything and don't want to even if you could. And then my little cousin came over. He thinks I'm probably his age, and he treats me like that. :) And after 15 minutes in his company, I felt happy, light. Like I could do anything, be anyone. All I needed was people who loved me and people I loved. (Hopefully, they won't ever be disjoint sets. :))

Question: Which stance is right?

i think when a feeling of happiness originates within you it needs to be transferred. so the origin might be in ur "core" but if it remains unshared it wll die down faster than when you share it. so happiness is an interaction which has a source and needs a propagator. u can then be happy in 2 ways. 1:source lies within you say a personal achievement or when you wrote or did something nice. 2:when you receive it through a propagator(happy'tons') whose source is within someone else like that child in ur example!
