Happiness Is An Ideal Created By What You Know

happiness is an ideal created by what you know see the old woman bent over in her garden scraping for something to eat? she smiles a toothless grin she is happy though we would not find her sitation ideal happiness is an ideal created by what you know see the child playing in the mud his knees a mess of scrapes and grass? he laughs and claps his hands he is happy though we find being dirty an awful inconvenience happiness is an ideal created by what you know see the man grinning ear to ear counting his cheques and coins? he giggles and licks his lips he is happy though we judge him for being wealthy happiness is an ideal created by what you know if we knew the lives these three live end to end day to day they might not make us happy these lives may not be for us but these three are happy happiness is an ideal created by what you know
