A terrible lie

The lie at our core

There's a terrible lie in humanity,

One which rots its very core,

We all follow it but can't help it,

It's driving our world to destruction.

 

That is we need something to be happy,

This lie drives everything,

This mistake of addition is false,

These are confused times.

 

Let go of wanting!

 

I look past the lie,

I find the invisible door to escape,

Everyone's searching for this place,

A few understand we never left it.

Intensive way to look at this verse...
the way you are saying we live in this world...
the thoughts of wanting happiness...
whatever that may be in each one's case...
yet...focus of what the intent of the lie is...
and leaves us with an understanding statement in the end...

"That we need something to be happy."

Well isn't that just materialism ? :) It's okay in moderation, but yes, some people shop and buy things they really don't need until their credit is all gone - and that's not good.

True it is materialism but happiness from things is momentary........happiness for self is eternal :)

All the money in the world doesn't do any good if you can't transfer it for necessary goods such as food, clothing, and shelter.
