Isn't It Funny?!

Isn't it funny?
That you have your daily bread, without fail
Sometimes even spoilt for choice
But you take it so much for granted that you fail to recognize it as a blessing
Until you see a beggar on the street
Begging for a few crumbs just to make it through the day.
Isn't it funny?

... that you go to sleep every night under a roof
Warm or cool, depending on the weather
You change the airconditioner to your desired temperature
As you sit nicely in the comfort of your room
Yet you have more complaints than the street kid on a ditch

Isn't it funny?
How you always want more out of life
That you always fail to appreciate the little things that makes it all worthwhile
Always seeking a little bit of this, a little more of that
Confusing your wants with needs
Your huge superfluous appetite for more of everything blinding you to the simplest most valuable treasures you possess.
Yes, it is indeed funny and ironic,
That in our bid for the pursuit of happiness
We end up rather sad, empty, depressed and miserable.
Oh boy, isn't life just funny!
