Mummy: If you could take a pill that always made you happy, would you?
Santiago (age 8): No, because it’s important to feel bad about things you do.
Mummy: So do you think happiness is something you go out and find or something you just have?
Santiago: Happiness is something you have. In my head it’s like a battle. Goodies against baddies. When you’re born you have happy and sad but then as you grow older, you have to chose. I’m still young so I haven’t chosen yet. Right now the good side has taken over a little bit. It’s hard to say what will happen next.
