After the mountain we visited a cheeseburger hangout where a girl I once knew, an old friend, used to work. I hadn't seen her in many years and I asked the manager if he had seen her lately, He said yes--just a month before, it turned out. And so I asked if she was happy and he said, as diplomatically as he could, not really.
I was sad, because we want the people we care about, even if they have vanished from our day-to-day lives, to find some measure of happiness. I was sad because unhappiness is something we are never taught about; we are taught to expect happiness, but never a Plan B to use in its absence.
