Pursue For Less Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Life is a pursuit; the pursuit of food,
Of shelter and mate and of wealth and fame.
Love and respect are always sought after.
The path of pursuits is fed with hurdles.
Fear, anger, apprehension and anxiety
Along with curiosity and love are out come.

The pursuit of more and more never ends
Unless you put a stop to your willing.
What you have at present will lose value
When you set your eyes on some objects new.
The pursuit for more and more tires one out.
There is no answer to how much is enough.

Self discipline is the real antidote.
To refuse to give in is self discipline,
Be it peer pressure or societal ones.
To be happy with what you've is o k.
To will to have less than that is still more.
Pursuit for less takes you to happiness.
