The correct answers is:
"Yes.
They're right here at my sides".A clear sign of mental soundness, is peace of mind and joy of heart.
The distance these two are from you, is an effective indicator of robust health. It is impossible for a mind to operate wisely and grow in strength, if it is at civil war and divided against itself.
If peace and joy are far away, then torment of mind, and sorrow of heart are nearby. Please note: torment of mind and sorrow of heart cannot live in the same house with peace and joy. One group must move out.
An uneducated mind can easily be operated improperly, and find itself entangled in it's own thoughts. Soon, it may think itself into gridlock and stagnation. This gridlocked condition traps the thinker into a cycle of perpetual destructive thinking. Chasing peace and joy away.
A good mental education helps avoid and remedy this gridlock condition. Then peace and joy packs their bags and start their long journey back home to be at your sides.
If you answered: "I haven't seen them in months"; then there is a good likelihood that your mental house is divided. And your own thoughts are warring against you. An internal war that could be keeping you from enjoying the good life.
This is true even if you answered: "They come and go, but never stay". There is a reason why they leave. A good mental education helps you pinpoint that reason.
If you answered: "I've never known peace and joy"; then I would start my mental education today!
