Should I be happy that I am flying business class

or should I be sad that I am not attending the music performance of my daughter's class

Should I be happy that I make enough money to go anywhere and eat

or should I be sad that my body has said no to eating sweet

Should I be happy that I have a big house in the bay

or should I be sad that my parents are thousands of miles away

Should I be happy to hear my daughter’s english talk

or should I be sad that she will never witness my village’s dusty walk

Should I be happy that I can talk to my parents on Facetime

or should I be sad I don’t know how they feel during downtime

Should I be happy that I drive a fancy car

or should I feel sad that it still can’t take me to people who are far

Should I be happy that people say I am exceptional at my job

or should I be sad that i know deep down I am no different than the rest of the mob
