Fairly Happy

by DKY

\+ Inequality is good, a wise friend once divulged + It was a good thought that has a hint of truth + Why? I asked to uncover its mystery + Then he replied, and informed me gleefully - Perfect liberation is too far to achieve for foolish men, - In the present times I witness what I believe - Blissful faces all around and it's probably not their last - Ain’t we living now in an unequal world with future to trust? + I ask, but what about those people lamenting in the dark? - I’m sorry to tell you bro, in a senseless quest I won’t embark - Unfairness is when happy people are the cause of their misery - Which we are a part of, this is ours and that is their destiny - Of course I won’t impede your stance in this matter - I believe you ain’t too foolish with your freedom and liberty - It’s just that some people get what they want on a silver platter - While some work their asses of just to receive their miniscule pay + I understand my friend that harsh verity - Harsh? Yeah to some people it is full of cruelty - That’s why they want to overturn the norms, the world’s ethos - I admire their courage but that is a matter I don’t intend to poke my nose + Speaking of unfairness, I have a thought of mine + Why do people complain of what is absent + When compared to others they have a lot present + Is it because man’s greed knows no confines? + And some people grumble about their problems that   + When compared to other’s crosses are just shallow vats - If it is what you said then what use is contentment? - And the second problem’s just like a game in my discernment - Level by level we are differing with every other - It is by which our environments determine our given attitude - A level one complains to a level seven, a higher number - And a level ten complains to a problem of greater magnitude - By which sometimes the level ten see level one in annoyance - For how lucky he is yet grumble of his misfortune - See, its just a matter of perspective and vision - Now why are you looking at me in askance? + Your logic has something wrong, I’m just pointing out, not debate + Why can’t a level ten, over a level 1 problem, grumble? + For its just a matter of perspective as you did articulate + And if it is the case then what use is the level of the people? - Hahaha, you got me right my friend - My view is flawed as I am - Please do share thy thoughts so all this will end? - For we have talked till the cows to home, come + My friend, I dare not belittle the view you conceive + For I think it has a hint of truth, even though with a flaw + You have a wisdom that exists only on a chosen few + So let me add a bit of my subjective perspective + The great may whine of a small barricade + The lesser may smile to the towering obstacles ahead + In every individual there are many factors of multitude + This is what you have missed, the peculiarity of humans + Not just discernment, + There is also temperament + We not only have perspective, + There is also attitude that we give + Many matter in life, I thus conclude my statement - So that’s it! Thank you for the enlightenment - Those factors really do affect our actions - As long as we are humans, there are no exceptions - To persist, to cower, to grumble, in traversing the rain - To take it easy, to seek help or to accomplish it on our own - Despite all this choices one truth will always remain - That in life we most likely will reap what we have sown
