That is a very honest and pointed question.I think that the more connections one makes with fellow human beings, the better one becomes at recognizing happiness. Of course, it helps to entertain the possibility that such a thing is possible in order to be receptive to perceiving it where it exists. You won't be right all of the time, but so what? For the most part, I think it is healthier to err on the side of believing that a person is happy rather than unhappy.
