It's only socially acceptable to be depressed.
I don't see what's wrong with that. Odd turn of phrase, but he's saying he's having a very good day. He's just sharing his positivity with you.
It too is beautiful in my soul today.
That morning, the man's wife safely gave birth to their first child. He was stopping by Whole Foods to get that expensive fruit drink that she loves so much, but won't buy for herself because she say's its too expensive. Everything he looked at he saw with a shine of promise for the happy future for his growing family. He lost his mother to cancer when he was 14, and worried about what kind of parent he would be without being able to grow into adult with his mom in his life. Today though, he had no doubts. He looked in his newborn's eyes and knew he'd move mountains with focus and determination just to make her dreams come true. For a moment he felt his mother's fleeting presence, and her pride in her now adult son with a child of his own.
He was standing in line to pay holding two small bottles of overprice fruit juice and notice the woman in front of him sigh as she pulled out one credit card out of her wallet, pausing, and then put it back pulling out another instead. He could see in his minds eye that years ago this woman's father looked down at her on the day of her birth and felt that immense love that he did for his own newborn daughter. He wanted to tell her just how much her father had to have loved her on that day and still did to this day, and would until he left this Earth.
"How are you doing?", he asked her. She glanced at him.
"Ok. How about you?" she said slightly annoyed as she gave him a side eye. He wanted to gush about how beautiful life was, and how happy he was to be alive. He opened his mouth and closed it again, catching himself and slightly smiling instead.
"It is beautiful in my soul today" he said. She paid for her purchase without looking back leaving the man to his joy of life. He never knew if she could sense his joy or the intense connection to humanity he felt in that moment.
