Oh stress

I guess I've been gone a while.
I'm working loads. Need to if I'm gonna be let go.
I don't think it will come to that but I guess if we expect the worst we can't be as downtrodden.
And if we expect nothing we can't be disappointed.

But we can be content.

We live in a society where everyone wants more.
And not only do they want more but they want it now.
And they aren’t prepared to wait.

This is why people miss the beauty in things.
They don’t want to wait for their garden to grow.
So they buy flowers to put in it and don't plant the seed.
They don’t want to cook dinner so they order in or go out to eat.

And more and more it seems like they don’t want to see their kids grow up so they give them to a nanny to mind. The nanny will look after them and see their first step or hear their first word.
The parent will get the end product and criticize.

Contentment is not to settle for less.
Contentment is to be satisfied with what you have.
It is to be happy. And to be happy is everything.

Marcel Paqnol said:
“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better then it was, the present worse than it is and the future less resolved than it will be.”

I say if you want for anything in the world, want for happiness.
Nothing else counts as much .
