Nice epicurean message here...
The day is short The night is long Why do we work so hard To get what we don’t even want? We work so hard to get ahead of the game Work half our lives until we’ve won. And then one day we sit on the edge of our bed And we think, “Lord, what have I done?” The day is short The night is long Why do we work so hard To get what you don’t even want? The man in the suit comes home and kisses his babies goodbye. “Daddy’s got to go on a trip, honey, oh no, don’t you cry.” He’s gone for a week then he’s home for a day. Well, pretty soon the babies won’t cry when Daddy’s gone away. The day is short The night is long Why do you work so hard To get what you don’t even want? You know we go to the mall and we go from store to store. Everybody seems to be wasting time until death walks through the door. And then you look at all your merchandise and you see We paid too high a price, you’ll see The day is short The night is long Why do we work so hard To get what you don’t even want
Love this! I totally agree, most of the time people will work way more in life than ever get to enjoy it. People are always stressed trying to achieve a goal or even work to stay afloat and by the time they might get to enjoy their hard work they are too old, or just too tired.
ReplyDeleteAnswering the question: Society.
ReplyDeleteI think this is good for most as many work their lives away, a give up time with family and give up their social life without benefiting much. In fact I think most are affected negatively by this.
