Mom used to leave 'Guidepost' and 'Reader's Digest' magazines in the bathroom. I was not a good reader as many of those in my family, so I didn't sit long on that porcelain post. I would usually just read the back cover of the Reader's Digest ...of all the listings of the articles contained within.

One article was entitled, Are You Happily Married? Take This Test and See.

I remember thinking to myself, and laughing to myself ...myself, because the porcelain post is a place where self is the proper perspective.  There is no properness to imagine 'selfies'.

Anyway, I remember thinking it should rather say, Are You Stupid?

If you are happy, why question it? 

Unless, your happiness is gained through reprehensible behavior.

And if you are unhappy, and don't know it ...would this qualify as ignorance is bliss?

Better not to merely know that you are unhappy, but why ...so you can possibly remedy it.
