PEACE AND HAPPINESS
Prof. Munuswamy sidhu@giasmdolvsnl.net.in
Peace and happiness are not the same! Peace is a spiritual beyond pretender reach! Happiness available at all costs, and corners! Peace is internal, buried beneath body's make up! Happiness is external, and saints are not exempted!
Peace is subjective souls shine by simple living! Happiness is objective, that advertises and attracts!
Peace is invisible that comforts! Happiness is visible, that frets and fumes! Peace is other centered, as tree fruits and river waters! Happiness is self-centered, as holocaust and hired labor!
Peace inspires revered respect!
Happiness evokes envious anger! Peace is all-inclusive, as the earth and sky!
Happiness limits, as thine and mine! Peace is infectious, as fragrance of the flowers! Happiness attracts, as muddy waters with pests!
Contentment marks, the character of peace!
Contentious claims, characterize happiness! Peace is cooperative, happiness is competitive!
Peace is perpetual, happiness is haphazard!
Peace is progressive, happiness is regressive! Peace's costs are peripheral, happiness, often expensive!
Peace is creative, happiness dislocates!
Peace is positive, happiness is negative! Peace is preventive and curative, happiness is problematic!
Peace is non-taxable, happiness is taxable! Peace promotes friendly feelings, happiness provokes insipid rivalry!
Peace is time-space saver, happiness chargeable to time and space! Peace requires simple teaching, happiness demands elaborate instructions!
Fools are mesmerized, by manipulative miracles!
The wise will follow, the examples of ancestors! "Peace I give you, my peace I leave to you." (Christ-Bible)
