Quetion - Why are we Sad?

It is dark and cloudy today
clouds so thick, they are here to stay.
Some waiting for rain, some for sunlight
some care a damn,its just another day.

(Was just wondering how people relate weather and their present life)
Some would say 'weather is gloomy'.
Is it reallly or its just their feeling?
Do we hear 'these' words often from kids,
who seek pleasure in whatever they are doing?

We pray for a healthy life, we pray for happiness.
But do we ever repay His greatness?
Will we enjoy only if we have everything we need?
Do you think there is any end to this greed?

As a child we only hated to study.
Now the hate-list has grown to infinity.
We think we are human and we can be sad.
But it it limited to just one day thats gone bad?

Every minute we compare and see,
what we dont have or what we should be.
We have friends and family, we are dressed.
Do we compare ouselves with not so blessed?

Why do we change as we ripe?
Why do superficial things create negative vibe?
Why dont we analyze whats giving us sadness
instead of giving up and drowning with tide?
