Sometimes I ask a question to people:
What is your basic index of happiness, on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is a constant unbearable suffering, and 10 is an absolute possible happiness and peace.
I ask when I'm wondering how this index would change after certain events or changes in life, sometimes when it comes from the contexts. It happens that they are strangely looking at me and do not answer.
It happens people turn my question to joke.
And very rare who look at it seriously and try to answer after some thinking.
I think, this index change very often, and it really depends on our mood, circumstances, sufferings, challenges, and even happy events.
