HAPPY the man whose wish and care
A few paternal acres bound,
Content to breathe his native air
In his own ground.
Whose flocks supply him with attire;
Whose trees in summer yield him shade,
In winter fire.
Blest who can unconcern'dly find
In health of body, peace of mind,
Quiet by day,
Sound sleep by night; study and ease
Together mixt, sweet recreation,
With meditation.
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Don't worry!...I'm no big fan of poetry :)..but this one "Quiet life" by A. Pope is me favorite...well...cause this kind of life is what I always wanted!
Me being a nature lover..ahh..how cool it'd be to wake up and see the sun rising at the horizon! But...I wake up to this
Well...not so bad is it?...well you'll get to see squirrels playing and colorful birds singing to you every morning too..:)
But...oh well...is it ever enough?...nah...its like that Hindi advertisement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4haEYOZ9dTE ..;)
Like always...its never enough!
But these days this "never enough" has reached a whole new level!...I'll tell you how..
Nah...I'm not gonna brag about a kid's misery these days..how it's "never enough" to score above 90% if you don't rank first...the rat race...oh! and if you never win an award in your life then you're not so cool...who cares about the distinguishing childlike curiosity right?
A poor person has "never enough" to support his/her family..a middle class man too has "never enough" to buy a car or a bigger house..a higher middle class person has "never enough" to travel abroad like others..and you might think...that for a rich man "never enough" doesn't exist! Well...you're wrong..
There's another trait of this virus..the "relationship" trait..there's always someone that no matter what you do is "never enough" for them or vice versa!.. someone that you always wish behaved right..or someone who hurts you..
And do you know the most dangerous trait?...it's the "self esteem" trait...its where you don't like the way you look..or feel like its "never enough" in whatever you do..feel guilty all the time or low...cause you could've done better...man how much that hurts..Torture isn't it? Yep..that's what I thought too..and decided to cure myself..how many more years am I gonna spend in the "never enough" syndrome?..not one!...and guess what?
it feels great! :)
So far so good ;)
how you wake up seems paradise compared to how I wake up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLX191MxGqk
