Human happiness is a frail thing—
The gods are evidently jealous of it.
The problem of earthly happiness
Is the most elusive and, to boot,
Far from cheap problem to solve,
But after all what is said and done
About cultural heritage, education
And technological progression,
It should remain the top priority
Of mankind's masterminds to crack,
Starting from the algorithm design
For all people under heaven to apply
In order neither poverty nor disgrace
Could take away it from them.
Truly, a happy man regenerates
Much many happy days for others
Than for himself. Alas, it is the device,
Which is still a sealed book to mankind.
For myself, I am inclined to think
That the man who sits on a chair
That is a real chair, and sleeps on a bed
That is a real bed, not a daytime couch,
Is a happier man in the meantime
Who has chosen his lighter happiness.
which is so very sad,
but it's a way of life,
for much people!
