I believe that if you're really truly content and happy with life, you're not thinking hard enough or looking closely enough at the world around you, but I also think that it's possible for people in even the most objectively miserable situations imaginable to find some degree of satisfaction with their lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was sleeping on some friends' couch and I woke up in the middle of the night to a really heated argument between these friends about whether or not religion is a force for good in the everyday life of modern man. One of them eventually left to spend the night somewhere else because of this argument. I got off the couch and went to sleep in his bed.
