The asker

Happiness.....contentment.....resignation....how many sides does this coin have??

Have you ever asked yourself if you're happy and felt yourself go on the defensive - "Yes! Yes I'm happy! Why should I not be? Look, I'm smiling!" Ever wonder why this happens? How it happens? Who asks and who answers? Does the asker not know the answer already? Can the answerer ever be a good liar?

The asker is like the guy in the passenger seat. If the drive is fun, he shuts up to watch. If it's not, he pipes up with questions...but never gets in the driver's seat.

But he also helps to keep you awake.
