Happiness
Two shepherds and an overseer ponder what happiness is.
The old shepherd dreams of hidden treasure.
The young one looks up at the sky and takes it all in.
And the overseer doesn't think happiness is attainable.
Thoughts. Everyone in their head is trying to make sense of life. Some create fantasies of hidden treasures and they never ask what if they find the treasure -- they just need something to fill their head with possibility -- to keep them going -- and some use their experiences to turn away from thoughts about happiness and dreams and just do what they can to survive -- and others are just captivated by the majesty of the universe and human nature and never imagine they will ever have definitive answers to the big questions.
And the drama goes on.
The sheep ponder and so do we.
