Wise Man: Part 2 'Theory on Happiness'

One fine evening, I asked the wise man, "Are you happy?"

WM : No
Me : Why?
WM : Only monks are happy.
Me : Owh.

(Silence)

WM : Are you happy?
Me : Yes. In a way.
WM : How so?
Me : I believe we should be thankful and try to be happy, no matter what.
WM : That's crap.
Me : Why?
WM : We can never be happy if we are indebted. To human or material.
Me : We can barely avoid that, right.
WM : Sure we can.
Me : How?
WM : Live in a cave or on top of the mountain. And live on wild leaves.

Geez.
