Desire for happiness

All men, desire happiness

But pursue it through different paths.

Some through wealth

Others through status

Some through power

Others fame.

Some through piety

Others pleasure

Happiness has many hues.

And everyone is enchanted by their own illusion of a favourite colour.

But alas, the moment one seizes one colour, the longing for another arises

One is always in want.
Something is either absent or unwelcome.

And what is this happiness, if when one gets it, he stills lacks something?
