Comparing with those who have less makes us happier.
From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).
The last such message was: ‘Good Morning Message #104‘.
Good morning Friends,
All virtues and emotions are always relative,
Hence, comparing is natural for the mind;
One should hence try not to be negative,
By being to one’s own blessings blind.
God has given us much more than others,
At the same time, than many others, less;
Whilst comparing with our sisters and brothers,
Our own advantages we should always address.
The next step is to be ever grateful to God,
For what He chose to keep in store for us;
Whilst for everything we may not be awed,
It is certainly better to accept without a fuss.
Just as you can’t exchange life with someone,
You can’t exchange your karma and fate too;
But, you can find all happiness under the sun,
If you compare with others having less than you.
The Man who is content with what he has got,
Rather than others filling him with vain desire;
He has learnt how not to be sad and distraught,
He is his own happiness’s greatest multiplier.
I wish you today plenty of inner contentment,
May you be happy, cheerful, satiated and glad;
May you never harbour undue resentment,
At somethings others have but you haven’t had.
Comparing with those who have more makes us sad.
