deeply happy? no. walking on a thin film of joy that likely will crumble at some point leaving them w/o any coping skills? yes.
Replying to
No. In my experience, to appreciate the light one must have spent some time in the dark.

Strange but very interesting question. I'd say yes, but they were all "Candides." :)

I don't know anyone who hasn't gone through a massive amount of pain at some point. It is part of being alive.

One cannot be deeply happy and fully aware at the same time. To live is to suffer.

what about a deeply pained person who has gone through a lot of happy? The pendulum goes both ways.

can not always be happy. what you can find is grateful to have survived and learned of the suffering people, and that is closer
