Are we happy?

During my Literature class, my teacher posed an interesting question: Are you truly happy with everything? And without hesitation, everyone in my class answered: Yes, of course we are happy. But, I couldn't find my voice. I wanted to yes, but in the back of my mind, I know I am not happy. My actions speak volumes and so far, my actions have not spoken up for who I am. I am certainly not happy with how people go about this world, thinking only of themselves. Of course I follow the philosophy: if you don't take care of yourself, who will? But, I am also a strong advocate of helping others to help yourself. Maybe I am naive. But I can't help who I am or who I want to be. I just advocate for others but one voice just isn't enough, sometimes. Am I truly happy? No, I am not happy. I wonder if I will be able to speak these words in class next time.
