Now happy they are
They do not have a car.
Or they'd have the sorrow

    you cleverly bring out the myth about one's wants and one's needs... the less the desires are the more you feel happy and comfotable in life...10 votes

    Now happy they are, they do not have a car,
    The gas price too high
    Causes many to cry...and many to sigh...
    Nice writing and many people to feel this way about cars today...thank you. Jeannie

    Yes, all our happiness in life is only relative! So also sorrows and pains!

    This poem reminds me a quote from Albert Einstein - who said

    'Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute,
    and it seems like an hour.
    Sit with a pretty girl for an hour,
    and it seems like a minute.
    THAT'S relativity.”

    Here this poem dipicts -
    Possession or non-possession of luxury
    And the relative hapiness
    Found with reasoning ability.

    An interesting subject
    put into the frame.

    Enjoyed reading this. Thank you.
