No wonder so many are unhappy Their lives are predicated on pluses Pluses= happiness Unhappiness comes from minuses. All this they hanker after: Pluses in wealth, power , position Fame, recognition- even pluses in good looks And wisdom--anything less is no consolation. More acquisitions---the goal of life (Pity those who live in minuses) All the time they strive and strive Chasing like addicts for the next round of seductive pluses. Shouldn't they change their mind-set? Surely minuses are to be more desired and embraced Minus ill health, minus greed, minus envy, minus discord Minus strife, minus discontent--aren't pluses sadly misplaced?
