Life Paradox

Should one turn a frown upside down
or is the up side of being down a frown

Should money bring satisfaction
or should we be satisfied with our money

Does one always wish they were young not old
or do the old pine once more to be young

Should one use mind over matter
or does it matter if one loses his mind

Will one be happy the rest of one's life
or will the rest of one's life make them happy

Can one reach clarity in a fog
or can a fog lead one to clarity

Does a split personality breed depression
or does depression make your personality split

The first rule most of us learn is look both ways
or does looking both ways make most of us learn
