Happiness

Why are we earning?
Why are we slogging?
Why are we sacrificing?
Why are we sweating?
Why are we not living?
Why are we dying?
Why are we lying?
Why are we crying?
Why are we tense?
Why are we drinking?
Why are we smoking?
Why are we being selfish?
Why are we attracted towards position?
Why are we cruel?
Why are we sorrow?
Why are we sick with obesity, diabetes and hypertension?
Isn’t the purpose of life to be happy?
Are we seeking happiness in running after money?
What is the source of happiness?
Family…friends….
Are we losing out on them for the sake of money?
If we are losing out on our source of happiness then why are we chasing money?
Chase happiness
There is only one life
Understand your strength and weakness
Understand your ability
Don’t compare yourself with others but with your own self
Setting targets is fruitful only after understanding your own capabilities
Monitor yourself against what you were for tracking progress
Otherwise you will chase something that you will never get
In turn you will lose out on family and friends
In turn you will be unhappy
Life is too precious to be chasing the wrong things
The purpose of life is to be happy even in the minutest things
Work towards that and the complains would disappear
To live in a civilized society we require food, clothing and shelter
We have to work to earn for arranging those
The quantity and degree will vary individually
We are also all part of a system
Work is required for us to be in that system and to provide the necessities
But happiness is somewhere else
Work towards happiness and not towards want of more
Because the more you have the more you are secluded

GOD

What is God, what is the need?
Is it to divide us by religion, caste and creed?
Is it for those who are obsessed with authority?
Is it for us who need support during times of difficulty?
Or is it for all who are hit by the herd mentality?
But what different is one religion from another?
Does God really tell us to kill our own brothers?
Religion has become more of propaganda
Divide and rule, has become the agenda
Strength in unity is difficult to digest
Despise and hatred is all that we harvest
Following customs that are difficult to comprehend
Why don’t we apply our minds is what I don’t understand
Blind faith and blind following is all that I see
Keep all those to yourself, no it is not for me
Why are we behaving like puppets, strings of which are with somebody else?
I have a thousand and one questions the answer to which nobody tells
There are things which can’t be explained scientifically
Phenomenon’s which can be elucidated logically
Why should we attribute it to a higher power?
Are we shirking away from the truth or taking cover?
Thinking that we are perpetual is a mistake that I see
Species come and go and so shall we
Future is uncertain and the past is lost
Here and now is all we’ve got
Is it too difficult to be a good person without the stigma of God?

Self belief

Living one day at a time, don’t know what tomorrow has in store
Too tired of making plans because they work no more
The best is letting each day develop
Otherwise you simply will be fed up
Learn how to deal with uncertainty
For all you know, you might be feeling empty
But don’t shy away, be brave like a man
For only you can do things that nobody else can
Believe in yourself cause you are all that you’ve got
Occasionally take recourse of sex, alcohol or even the pot
Erase fear, doubt, and other weak emotions
Free your mind of all the commotion
You are your own master and you are capable
Remember my friend that nothing is impossible

Giving up

Direction is what I am looking for
Fatigued, my limbs are all sore
Tired of the systems and policy
Fed up of this bureaucracy
Nothing seems to be moving on
Life seems to be dragging on
Have they made a scapegoat of me?
Am I doing what was meant to be?
Loneliness is what I feel
Emptiness is much too real
Exhausted and battered I stand
Nowhere can I see a helping hand
But I am an optimist
This is the reason that I still exist
I still believe in the alchemist
With these thoughts I keep fighting on
Fuck the world, I will keep marching on
You can make it difficult but can’t take away my energy
I will keep at it until I reach the destiny
