HAPPINESS
Happiness is our
final Good,
The highest form
of art,
Our soul's
activity accord to Virtue,
And tuning of
our heart.
The virtues are
those traits,
That lead us
towards the Good,
The purpose of
our moral choice,
And doing what
we should.
Our experience
is tuned towards value:
The best of what
we know.
Action tied with
intention,
We reap just
what we sow.
Wisdom is the
highest virtue,
Contemplation of
righteous ways;
Expressed with
great expertise,
How Divinities
love to play.
Happiness is not
a feeling,
Nor just
thought, word or deed,
But a symphony
of values,
Harmonized to
suit our needs.
It is not for us
to judge,
Whether another
is happy or sad;
At least we can
gauge ourselves,
Toward the Good
and away from bad.
