Selected quote #5: "I am so happy.”

A man came up to me earlier this week in the Princess Marina Hosptial corridor and said this. I did not know him. I could see that the man was indeed happy. Still, I was caught a bit off guard, and I paused for a second or two before responding.

“Why are you happy?” I asked.

"Because I am just from the lab. My CD4 count is high. I am strong."

"Then I am also happy," I said. 

And I was. Very.

The most virtuous joy is that of the happiness of another. I find your work really inspiring.
