Book: The Kite runner

'm still reading this fabulous novel, well paced with the best clichés, the regrets, the love, the payback. Everything is perfect. It gives a glimpse of what Afghanistan is, which is so rare and precious for a Chinese to see.
  
  The story itself, it makes me wonder about this theory I had for awhile. There are only two kinds of people in the world, one live happily, the other live meaningfully. Most people in between, trying to balance one another. But there are some, who seeks happiness, but ended up with only a meaningful life filled with pain and good stories. Amir is one of those people, who never meant to have a difficult life, who wants to live comfortably with his intimidation, but things happen, he always takes the wrong turn, and ended up with a meaningful life. Hassan, on the other hand, chose to live a meaningful life, and ended up with a meaningful life, pain is always there.
  
  Me, I've made up my mind to be happy, to achieve the ultimate happiness, I have to have the episodes with pain, with meaningful turns that I never meant to have.
