doing fine

In all honesty, what does 'doing fine' mean?
does it mean listening to authority? does it mean sleeping when you're supposed to? does it mean thinking about living? is sufficiency is measured by fecundity, efficacy, output, and habitualness?
if so, then "doing fine" is basically your ability to fake it. if so, then "doing fine" is basically the cadence of your day to day life?
basically not perpetually thinking about nihilism. basically not staying awake until five am, staring at blank papers. basically not about the moments that are penultimate to your death. basically not wanting cigarettes, valium, drink?
then i guess i'm not doing fine...or i'm just going mad.
