Where has all the happiness gone?

sound : The Times They Are A-Changing - Bob Dylan

Where has all the happiness gone?... i am surrounded by gloom... ajnu is really moody... akhil's all confused... he's happy about neet being here but there's something bothering him... me, i'm just plain pissed....

neet came today, and along with her there's her unending happiness (how does she do it?)... she's like a breath of fresh air in this smog of our collective despair... what the fuck happened to all the happy kids that we were?... why oh why do we all moan and complain?.... where has all the happiness gone?...

why is adolescance synonimous with moodiness and depression?... why should we all HAVE to know the paths of our lives at twenty?... where did all those happy, smiling faces go?... all those dreams and visions of paradise?... where they all fake?... what has become of us?.... where did the dreamers in us go?... is it just me, or do dreams never ever come true nowadays?....


Come mothers and fathers throughout the land,
And dont criticize what you can't understand.
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
Your own road is rapidly aging-
For the times they are a-changing.


where did all that vitality and pride go?.... where is all that excitement that all the kids had possessed?... where did our easter bunnies and santa clauses and jesus christs go?... where are our pillars?... who are our rocks?... and whatever did happen to our parental bonds?....

where did our constancy go?... where do our lives lead us to?... do we even have something better out there?... where did the truth go?... where are all of our dreams and hopes gone?... where are our beliefs?....

maybe we'll find all that we've lost and be the perfect adult... or maybe (and most likely) it'll be that we forget our individuality... we'll turn into that we despise... the onset of adulthood in not marked by the growth of facial hair or pubic hair or even academic merit... no, i believe that adulthood is attained when we either lose our every shred of individuality and turn into another mindless bum or when we accept our quirks and differences and let our innner child(ren) grow into a unique individual.... most of us go the way of the ignoramus, the every-person.... i just hope that i dont....

but back to the main point...

Where has all the happiness gone?
