Happy choice
hap·py (hăp'ē) adj., -pi·er, -pi·est.
1. Characterized by good luck; fortunate.
2. Enjoying, showing, or marked by pleasure, satisfaction, or joy.
3. Being especially well-adapted; felicitous: a happy turn of phrase.
4. Cheerful; willing: happy to help.
Think about it. If you don't possess any of the first three definitions, there will always be people around you who can perform definition four to chip in for your dosage of happiness however small it may be.
I love Dangerous Minds for tonnes of reasons. And you may know how I always love to use the quote from Michelle Pfeiffer's character, Louanne Johnson. She said the most powerful word in the English language is Choose.
Someone points a gun at your head. You can keep quiet and and hope the gun moves away, or you can scream for help and hope the gun moves away. It may not be a choice that you like but it is still a choice.
So if you can't choose to have definitions 1 - 3, you still have the last choice. :>

You stand at the traffic light. Your friends stop talking, conversation just dried up that very instant. You look across the road, past the whizzing traffic. In that very instant, you realize
(a) Life is good, you don't know how and why but you know you're happy
(b) there is a hole inside which is slowly sucking up all the pretty jokes and laughter you lay on top in an effort to hide it

I think you meant warm light? :> I chose a more orangy tone (I'm sure they have a name for those kind of bulbs) to match the general feel of my room colours. I saw the lamp from your URL but the one I bought is not a paper lamp. It looks like one but the sides are plastic and so are the white rings on it. If you're in Singapore, head down to IKEA. :>
Yup, a choice. We've always had that liberty to choose. A matter of whether we choose to or choose not to. To be or not to be, that is the question.
