What is your idea of perfect happiness?

I think that’s a rather extreme concept. I can tell you what makes me happy instead: my wife, my family, the music I listen and I write, preparing a meal for my friends and sharing stories or ideas. A right mix of moderation, passion and honesty can increase your quality of life, or even make you happy.
