Man's number one quest
Is to find happiness and peace of mind
But most times,
He goes finding it at the wrong place
or in the wrong things

He devotes all his time to getting money
Even at the expense of his family
Finally, he gets the wealth and riches
But his happiness is nowhere to be found
Then he starts buying expensive things to fill the void

Little does he know that
Happiness from material things
quenches like fire on a match stick
But happiness from within is hard to extinguish

He's seen as the happiest by others
But deep within him, he's seeking for order
He's ready to trade all he's got for happiness and peace of mind

Only if he knew that
his happiness has been within him all the time
Even way before the fame and the riches
Now, he's living life in misery
Repercussion of a shallow mind

I hope you and I won't fall in that trap
We'll get the money without jeopardizing
our happiness and peace of mind
We'll enjoy the journey basking in the beauty of the moment.
