Happiness Doesn't Exist

It's true.  No one can ever be truly happy.  If they say they are....why do they keep looking for something better?  Why do you have to look for the greener grass?  What's wrong with the grass you have now?  It's loved and taken care of.  It gets played on by frolicking, laughing, life-filled children.  It gets watered everyday, and maybe a few flowers planted to "spruce it up."  It may not look like much, but it's a hardy yard and full of life.  Anything can grow in it.  And if you go to someone else's yard, why do you deny that you did?  Why do you lie about admiring a yard that "looks" better than what you have?  Or deny that you did yard work somewhere else?  Or tell someone passing by that this yard is not yours?  "Hey neighbor, there's a brown spot showing up in the corner."  "Ohhh, this isn't my yard!  I don't know anything about that."  That's when we wait for someone to throw a wrench in your lawnmower.  See how you take care of your yard NOW.

  1. Good post...I really appreciated the metaphors here. I don't understand these things either, but I am so sick and tired of feeling so lonely and paranoid all of the time.
