Being toys so little <br />In the hands of the Maker <br />With a little happiness <br />Exercised by a few <br />Exorcised by many <br />Throughout history <br />Is it the highest good? <br />Is it knowledge? <br />Is it health? <br />A moral code in the system <br />Of teleological measurements <br />Choices and actions <br />Open to man <br />Degree of achievement or frustration <br />Applied knowledge and <br />Rational thinking <br />Solving the job of survival <br />Drawing the analogy <br />Between material currency and <br />Spiritual currency <br />One spends to pay <br />For one’s values in life <br />Characteristic values and <br />Cardinal values <br />Of ethical objectives <br />Enmeshing the essence of happiness <br />Is this rational or irrational? <br />Is Capable of dealing with reality? <br />Nay, man is a blind misfit, <br />A chip buffeted by the universal flux! <br />What is good? Or what is evil? <br />Is primary concern quest for joy? <br />Or is it escape from suffering? <br />Is Self-fulfillment or <br />Self-destruction <br />Goal of man’s life? <br />Should man pursue his values? <br />Should he place the interest of others <br />Above his own? <br />Is it seeking happiness or <br />Seeking self-sacrifice? <br />My efficacious conscience <br />Is unable to comprehend! <br /> <br />13.04.2008<br /><br />rajagopal haran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/193-eudaimonia-the-ace-of-shades/
