Contentment Is Happiness. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Contentment leads to your satisfaction.
Satisfaction leads to your happiness.
Contentment is a neuro-hormonal
Complex in the brain that controls your greed.

Greed is a primal desire regulated
By a neurological centre
Formed of neurons in the ventral portion
Of the hypothalamus in the brain.

These neurons set programme that determines
The quantum for gratification.
The programme is set with input drawn
From the database of the past memories.

How greedy you are is governed by brain.
You are the victim of the programme set.
Unbridled lust and insatiable hunger
Can be the resultant factors for creed.

Memories of the past provide input
To the programme operative in the brain.
It determines the level of one’s greed
In accordance to the unfulfilled desires.

Contentment is opposite to greed.
Greed must come down to attain happiness.
Programme must be reset with new input
Powered by the will and the discretion.

Contentment is an interaction
Between the consumer and the consumed.
Bliss is the realization effects
From interaction of subject and object.
