Happiness

A state of mind

Way too familiar and yet seemingly distant

In both action, thought and effort

---

Why does it seem

That this feeling

Now comes along

With various price tags, labels and conditions

---

Further increasing our sense of entitlement

As if it is our inherent right

As we keep wandering from one place to another

From one state of mind to another

---

If I get “this”, I will be happy

If “this” happens, I will be happy

Forsaking the moment present at hand and what we have

Simply look around you, you are richer than you think

Let’s all count our blessings!
