Stop That
Why do you choose to search for evil when good is coming your way?
Why do you search for sadness when happiness is all around you?
Why do you ignore a reason to smile and rather choose a reason to frown?
Why do you chase the bad things of life even when the good ones are at your doorstep?
Why do you make the choices you make even when you know they will lead you nowhere?
why do you refuse to stop and think of a way to stop all these?
Why would you not focus on the brightness around you?
Believe it, it's there just focus and you would see.
If you don't believe this, look at your self and see if you're still breathing.
If so is it not enough reason for you to smile?
