Happiness by Zoebess .....

In life there is only one duty,
And that is the duty of happiness.
This is the reason for our being here,
But all our duties,
Moral code,
And regulations,
Do not make us happy,
And so we seldom make each other happy.
If man is to be good
He can only be so
When he is happy,
When he carries harmony within,
In other words, when he loves.
This is the Teaching,
The only Teaching in the world;
The one taught by Jesus Christ
The one taught by Buddha
And taught by Hegel, too.
For each of us, the most important thing in the world
Is his inmost being,
His soul,
His ability to love.
If this is in good order,
You can eat cake or crusts,
Wear jewels or rags,
And the world will ring in purity with the soal,
Will be good,
Will be in good order.
