Question: Frank: I don't know, Lisa. A lot of people also have houses and cars. Lisa: You mean you want to have more than other people and this will make you happy? Frank: Possibly. Lisa: Then you're looking for relative happiness. Frank: Ok, Lisa, what do you think is happiness? Lisa: Well, through the centuries, people have offered quite different definitions of happiness such as happy people were married women and single men, or happiness meant serf-gratification, or happiness could be achieved by eating less or eating more. Frank: So happiness is rather elusive? Lisa: I think the happiest people are those who find joy in their daily lives, and who enjoy their friendships, families, work and hobbies. Frank: You mean they are not bothered by the desire to get something more, something new, something better? Lisa: You couldn't be more correct. One more thing, Frank, if you are happy, you may not be satisfied with your life. Frank: What do you mean? Lisa: Happiness often means how happy you feel with your life now. Satisfaction often means that people have to take a step back from their lives and look at them in general. What was said before this conversation?
Answer: Lisa: Frank, are you happy? I mean you have a big house and you have a car.
