Doom

The opposite of happiness is doom.
That’s when it becomes all dark in the room.
And the future is dark too,
if only there was something I could do.
Yet failure is at hand.
So much for all the nice things planned.
The world is going down.
Exploitation, pollution, war.
Can someone fetch a clown,
or show me a rising star?
Something to cheer me up
and forget about the syrup
making it all sweet and sticky.
All in decay, that’s tricky.
It takes us down to where the animals are
kept in a jar
or behind a bar.
Their life is a shame
and guess who is to blame.

Happiness

Happiness is how we feel about our life,
about the accomplishment of strife.
It ranges on a scale from extremely high to utterly low
the latter is a problem though.
For scaling happiness down
makes us morally frown.
It is bad
to make others sad.
That is true
for animals too.
What makes me happy
is to see
others do
what’s good for you
oh dearest to my heart,
animals receiving their rightful part.

Stimulation

All need something to do,
something to respond to.

Stimulation triggers the mind,
sideways, upfront and behind.

It tickles the heart
for a start,

stimulates sensation
as well as contemplation.

Animal welfare stimulates me,
like a flower a bee.

Stimulation is needed, if only seldom
for without stimulation there will only be boredom.

So unless you want to be a bimbo,
don’t let animals go into limbo.

Speed

Speed may be good.
You get more things done.
But don’t forget to live in the meantime.
and don’t forget the lives of others.

Speed may be bad.
You are taking risks.
So don’t forget you are alive
and don’t forget others are as well.

Find your natural pace.
It is in-between speeding and slow motion.
Accelerate just for fun.
Slow down as well sometimes,
just to enjoy the fun of it
and to find your natural pace.

Let it wax and wane.
Play with it.
Enjoy it.
So you won’t forget to live
and appreciate the natural speed of other creatures,
whatever that may be.

I want to feel good about my relationship, because
a. It is not going well, so it makes me feel bad, and I just want to feel good.
b. It is going well and I want a(nother) child. But then the question is: Why do you want a child? I.e. what do you really want?

Why just feel good?

Since you just want to feel good, I suggest you do something that makes you feel good: Have some candy, a smoke, rob a bank, take a holiday, watch some (comic) tv, smoke some weed, make love, or do whatever it is that makes you forget about your miserable existence, and stimulate the economy by spending money on whatever will get you high, temporarily. So, you go watch an adddo some shopping, or consider the ultimate solution.

If this is not what you were looking for, perhaps your objective was not just having a good feeling per se. So, perhaps go back and try again.

Why do good to others?

Why would you want to give to do good to others, e.g. give to charity? Are they worth it? Are you so fortunate by heritage or inheritance,  or did you practice cunning theft? If you now wallow in wealth and thus can do some good by dropping a few dimes down the gutter, find your solution here.

If not, be blessed! Now, don’t you think you are a saint. So, go back to ‘normal’ and watch an add or do some valuable shopping.
