To look beyond the dark clouds
and see only the bright sunshine
That is hope and resolve

To see only what you don't have
and look to the posessions of your neighbour
That is hopelessness and pointlessness

To continue making love even after you cum
because you want your partner to orgasm too
That is consideration and caring

To see only the scar on your partner's face
and ignore the shining joy in their eyes when they look upon you
That is selfishness and shallowness

To wake up next to the same person every single day
and know that you truly love them
That is joy and completeness

To enjoy the company of a clenched hand or diddling finger
more than the embrace of a human being
That is sadness and incompleteness

To wake up every single day with a smile
and know that you need nothing more to be happy
That is what it's like to be alive

To have everything you need in the world
and still be miserable
That is what it's like to be dead

To live life looking to the future
and working to accomplish what you seek to achieve
That is living life well

To live life looking to the past
and spending your days stewing in past defeats and mistakes
That is living life poorly

To leave this life
with money and posessesion as your legacy
That is dying in vain

To leave this life
with friends and loved ones as your legacy
That is dying with meaning
