What I Truly Mean
Don't ask me such question ever, whether I'm happy;
No, I'm not angry, in fact don't know, if really
I'm happy or not; probably what I need badly
some accurate yardsticks to decide on it freely.
What I truly mean by happiness won't be the same
as you will define it; for me it changes daily;
sometimes a very little thing brings it, it's a shame
to tell, sometimes it's something else, I know it's crazy.
When I am enjoying my present moment in free
mind, no stress, working actively what I like most to
do, it gives me momentary happiness, I find
it when enjoying simple things in my life; it's true.
But what I'm looking for is, steady happiness in
mind, what I mean happy life and a meaningful one.
You know when I try to fulfil my wants and needs in
right time, it doesn’t bring me much happiness, it's not fun.
You'll agree one's health, wealth, luxury all are linked to
to happiness, but not to its real meaning. What
I'm looking for is meaningfulness; thinking anew;
that's key to steady happiness, there is no shortcut.
At present, I myself is confused, let me think more
may be one day I will share answer what you ask for.
