I have been always surprised with the question about the happiest moment in life. It just doesn’t exist. I mean, all my life is one happy moment. Of course, there are ups and downs, tears and laughter. But how can you know what is joy without sadness?

And how do you see happiness? Is it a journey or a certain moment?
