THis really got me to thinking. Can a person truly make themselves happy. I think some can, and I think that others can't. I think that my wife actually makes herself happy. She fills her life with as many activities and people as possible. She is not looking for a lover, she is looking to fill all the little things in life, have kids, an nice house, a good job, friends, and somebody to just be there, but off to the side. This gives her overall happiness in life. But to me, these are all wonderful things, but they fall way short of what I need in life. I want to have all these things as long as I have them with someone I consider to be my lover. Companionship is NOT enough, like it is for her. Can a HD person truly make themselves happy if they have no lover in their life? Why would a person want to go through life without a lover? I know there are people (like my wife) where being lovers is not important, but why?
