If I Had It All

If I had everything,
There would be nothing left to wish for.
If I had it all, I would have no desires.
If I were always happy,
Soon I've become complacent.
If there were no obstacles,
I would have no goals.

If I saw all of the beauty,
I would be overcome,
My senses too intoxicated
To recognize that beauty
When I saw it.

If I were never sad or angry,
How would I distinguish happiness?
If it never rained,
How could I enjoy its warm
Or icy cleansing?

(Again-it's a rough one.)

Exactly. Take the bad with the good, and vice versa. Desire brings suffering, but it also feeds life. Enjoyed.
