Never Happy


We want to be happy. But the mind will
not let us. It delves deep into memories.
It digs deep into desires. It gouges out
old wounds. It leaves us wanting.
No matter what we have.No matter
what we receive.No matter how much
Or what.No matter how content we are.
The mind has its own mind.
Never silent.
Never satisfied.
Never happy.

we people have the talent to complicate life and avoid happiness ... sad but true!

Jay said...

I agree.But then by thus worrying and delving into matters,it also saves us from major heartaches by making us realize things as they really are.A great read :)

We are never happy because happiness is a concept, that for many, doesn't stand still. Constantly changing.

So true but without sadness we wouldn't know or appreciate happiness as fleeting as it may be. Beautiful

May be that is what mind is about
It keeps us engaged all the time
Makes us run behind things
Searching for that moment
Which is worth living for!

Really, happiness is over hyped...

"Never silent.
Never satisfied.
Never happy."

That we remain..
