Are you happy?

So I was listening to outkast or whatever the band is called at work, cleaning off the grills when I heard this wierd line in the lyrics..

"nothing lasts forever, so what makes us so happy here," and I began to think about that.

If everything really is temporary, and things that can be lost are hard and enduring to get, only to realize you only have it for a certain amount of time before it leaves.. what makes the human race so happy to be here? What is so positive about a world where all posession, and relationship, and things are temporary?

Is it the idea that one turn deserves another? In that when one door is closed there is always another to be opened? Or is it simply that something is worth only having but a moment, than to never have it at all.. Almost like it is better to have loved than lost, than to have never experianced love at all? But then wouldn't you be ignorant to what you are missing, and in turn it be easier than holding the memories of something real and decent, only to be ripped away?

So if everything in life is a loan.. what makes us happy? Memory?
Do we feed off of emotion and depression like cannibals... praying off of drama?
Or were humans made to heal more than just skin? But the inner soul as well?

Sincerely,
Kendra-Dawn
