Contrarian Intuition

To Live, one must die; To Control, one must yield; To Trust, one must not ask why; To Love, one must drop the shield. Wisdom needs pain; Joy needs receptivity; Stability needs strain; Confidence, needs humility. True Wealth, is given to the simplistic; True Freedom, is granted to the restrained; True Health is given to the holistic; True Knowledge is granted to the trained. True happiness...True happiness? True happiness remains unexplained... 7 March 2018

Thank you. I was musing about wealth when I realized how much of what we want in life can be attained with a contrarian mind set.
