The Question is What Should I Do?

by christopher-lowe

I have come to realize This perpetuated feeling Is neither unhappiness nor lack of joy But a feeling of my own creation That of boredom Seeking out the next thing to fascinate Only to yet again become bored You see I don’t really think sadness is a lack of happiness It is a lack of fulfillment It is the fact That time and time again Generation after generation We teach happiness through gratification Society has taught us to stop thinking To stop feeling happiness without the minutia The results are a stratification of people And a difference now in Humans And Human Beings
