Happiness maybe..

Many a times I sit and wonder,
why we act and then ponder!
its never the other way round...
the world is one messed up ground!

You know it would be so much simpler,
if we could just live without looking like a crimpler..
like the famous Buffet and Gate,
the eyes of everyone sans all hate!

Alas, reality checks are but missing,
and don't come without the reactive hissing!
When seldom do we think..
Then it's natural that often we sink..

There are regrets and rememberences,
the rest are just futile wishes..
seeking the world for happiness,
when it really lies in loneliness!

Be with yourself today,
and you'll be on the happiness way!

    yes.. we do seem to act first, and then go into thoughts that are most of the time in regrets.. liked the continuation of that, to reflect that happiness can be found when we are with ourselves too.. wll written!

    We need to do a lot more pondering before we act--anyone hear of karma! We could avoid a lot of hardship if we thought before we acted--or spoke.

    Well done--got me thinking!
