But love
and contact
is not the only thing we need,
otherwise
our lives would be easily filled.
We set
goals for ourselves
which we
try to achieve,
to prove
to ourselves
and others
that we
are worthy.
We want
to live a full life
only to keep ourselves busy
so that we don’t realize
that we do not know
the exact meaning
of our lives.
We look like hamsters,
running in their treadmills
not realizing
that they are going nowhere,
blind for the obvious signs
that they are trapped in a cage.
We don’t know who we are
and where we are going
and the greatest
unofficial essential of life
is
keeping up appearances,
act like
we are the ones
that know
what
we’re doing
because
otherwise
we would just go mad,
we are stuck
in our routines,
trapped like the hamsters,
but if that is what it takes to have some piece of mind,
to be able
to exist and function,
then I rather be a hamster in a treadmill
than an empty cage.
