The only person who really knows Bobby is Bobby.
Nothing in that story proves that Bobby had a great life.
His life, like a straight line, may have been boring and perhaps he never really experienced the highs and lows of life, to experience that feeling of being alive.
If you looked at a graph of the highs and lows in Bobby and Jamal's life without knowing the details, maybe you'd choose Jamal's life, if you had to pick.
As to the title, I don't believe in either. :-)
