Y, Z, How are you?

Yama: Hello Zeus, how have you been?
Zeus: So - so... Life is just the way it has always been. I've been okay. How are you Yama?
Yama: Life is very good! I've been happy. I am very happy.
Zeus: Uh!I mean... Are you sure? Is everything okay?
Yama: Oh yes, yes. This is interesting, in a scary kind of way. Every time I say 'I am very happy' when someone asks me how am I , an immediate question has to follow. I do not understand that. At all!
Zeus: Umm... Quite an interesting observation that.
Yama: Yeah. Very curious indeed. It is as if being happy is not and should not be the natural state of mind or being. That is very scary, if you are to think about it!
Zeus: Scary scary scary, oh yes!
Yama: Scary scary scary, oh yes!
Zeus: What has the world come to?
Yama: That it must be hard for anyone to convince one's own self that he or she is happy. That it must be hard for anyone to believe that anyone else is so self-acceptably happy.
Zeus: To say that one is happy is almost an immodest thing.
Yama: Scary scary scary, oh yes!
