The simple philosophies
Make the mind question our realities
Affecting our ideology
Disrupting a well crafted human methodology
Questions upon questions
About the simple things like happiness
Until a scholar decides to add some flair to his craziness
And ask you about meaningfulness
He goes, son are you happy
If so, why do need to indulge in materialistic things to make you happy
Does it give you satisfaction
A rare moment of jubilation
A smile to last you a few seconds
Until you’re of to something new within seconds
Does it give meaning to your life
This new found happiness
As you share on Facebook to show the world
Your trending awesomeness
Is it the likes, the retweets or mentions
That lift you on a pedestal
To elevate your emotion
That’s make you happy
But really you’re just empty
Is being happy searching for validation
In a new generation of interactions
Chatting, snap chatting
Gathering momentum virtually
But you struggling personally
Is that giving your life meaning
Or are you another mannequin in the making?
Putting on a smile, creating a facade
So ask yourself this question
Is happiness the same as meaningfulness
If you were to give up all things material
Would your life still have meaning
Standing under a clear sky
With a slight breeze
Feeling free no more compromise
Your counter argument
To this predicament
I have family and friends
To make me happy
To give me meaning
They are always there supporting
Lifting me up when I am drowning
My life line through thick and thin
My protective armor on my skin
There is no disputing
A life worth living
Happiness is not the same as a sense of meaning.
How do we go about finding a meaningful life, not just a happy one
Is it the warmth of the sun
Or having all your hearts desires
This is a cross road
Its very odd
In one hand you have everything
In another nothing
So what is the real meaning
Of being happy
A philosophers riddle
Which has left right you in the middle.
