Analysis of Satisfaction
A lay man was very sad and upset
as he had to take crutches to walk.
He wished to have two good legs
to walk very straight.
Oneday he saw a man walking with gait.
He wore a pair of polished shoes.
The lay man saw his own legs
and again became very upset.
Another day he was walking.
Other way we can say 'limping'.
Suddenly he turned his head,
saw a man on wheel chair, singing.
Then the man realised,
the man on wheel chair
Couldn't even stand on his own feet,
was singing and delighted.
At least on his own feet
he could stand,
though the help of a crutches,
his demand could be met.
"Men are not satisfied
with their own condition.
So they become jealous
to see the others position."
