Don’t Mess Up
Buddhadasa Bhikkhu
Brother, what good do you see in me?
Little brother, who can know the heart of another!
So why do we become intimate & love each other?
It’s much more peaceful & easy than hating each other!
Brother, what do you want me to do?
Just don’t mess anything up!
Is that enough for you to stand by me?
Well, if there’s no dukkha, what more do you want!
Are you implying that I still suffer dukkha?
If you desire fame, status, or acceptance, there’s dukkha for sure!
So if we aim for what is lowly happiness is assured?
All I’m asking is that you don’t mess up; figure out the rest!
