An essay about a good life

beach-768642-edit

We all want a good life,
It’s what we work hard for and it’s what we dream of.
But, not everyone gets it…

Working hard all day, making money all our lives,
Saying yes to everything,  looking for opportunities everywhere
this is all we do…

But … will this give us a good life?

Look, for instance, at an animal
It hunts for food … yes
It looks for a shelter to sleep … yes
It protects it’s cubs … yes
But this is it …

It does not care, what others think …
It does not care, what others do

It does not compare,
It does not envy,
It does not deceive others
It does not believe in poor and rich,

This is all what we do …

We humans, have made our life complex
Too hard to even live it
We think, compare, envy, deceive and lie

We are no longer free and wild
We have no control over our lives…
We are stuck in the spiral…
A spiral of making life better…
And it goes on and on and on…

Lost is our happiness, simple things and time …
Gone are the days when respect was everything
We live in the days of making money… more money

But alas, here is the thing which we forgot
Money will never bring us a good life
A piece of paper, it is, but controls our entire life
