A Reflection

By thinking ourselves as beautiful,
We indirectly assume others are ugly.
By thinking ourselves as rich, 
We indirectly assume others as poor.

How do we define being beautiful?
How do we define being rich?
Do our skin,lips, nose and eyes define beauty?
Do our money, house and car define richness?

We are all unique, rare and incomparable
We are all but temporary, insignificant and small
All we have in life is little time and space
Time will soon have each of us erased

Seek for a contented heart and a mind with peace
Fortune and Fame will all lead to emptiness
Seek for a healthy body and loving family
Lust and pleasure will only lead to misery

It's not too late to listen to me my friend
Your true happiness is what matters in the end
Feel with your heart and empty your mind
The wisdom I'm sharing is one of a kind
