THE QUORUM for A HAPPY LIFE



How many people do I need around to lead a happy life? They say - You need a Dad, and a Mom all through your growing years, a girl friend in the years of trial and errors at love and life, a dog(I count it as a near and dear one) to play with when you have a home of your own, a nurse to look after you when you are old and wasted, and of course your family(wife and son) at your death bed.
Apart from this I need a few more people. I would love to have a cook, who would make me great food everyday, a gardener for my green grass, cacti and flowers, a doctor to take care of ailments that keep coming back. I figured out that I need three friends in life, three close friends to be more precise. This may sound funny, but I would need one for playing golf with, one to share my dinner and wine with and the third to talk to in my library over issues interesting and intellectual.
I can also afford to have a teacher all throughout my life, whom I could refer to in times of confusion, illusion and deadlocks, also a student to teach whatever life taught me, to make him learn from my mistakes.
I always dreamt of having a secret relationship of which the world has no idea. You know the kind I am talking about, of which you are not so proud, could well be a pain in the ass for the rest of the life. But may be when I have everything else, I can try having this someone.

And this I guess sums up the total number of people I need, without thinking of the fact that I will be needed back by many. For a happy life I will have to make sure my contribution in their lives is a positive one and they end up dying happy like me.

You sure?

No depmates? Same 3 friends for all your life?

No neighbours? No colleagues?

Whats the point of having 6 billion people living all around you and limiting yourself to the second lowest multiple of 6?
