Surround Yourself with What Matters

Choose joy, not noise

By Rohitha LankaPublished 8 months ago 1 min read

Surround yourself with yourself

People who make you happy

People who make you laugh

Someone who helps you when you need it

Someone who cares about you seriously

They are the most valuable people in your life

While others

Just people passing by

Give value to what is valuable

People, Animals, Time, Environment

Not money prestige ego

Mother is a worthless thing

Where humans deceive each other

To make another person feel inferior

Which I don't know will waste time

Why pay for the feeble-mindedness?

There is not a single star in the sky

Happiness is not once in life

The stars are not all of the sky

Suffering is not the whole of life

Just understand what will get better

    Well-wrought. However, there are certain situations in life which, though harrowing, we cannot walk away from without ruining any possibility of future happiness. Unlike we lack anything resembling a conscience, of course, but then we would just be psychopaths...

  • Well written. keep it up
