They say that the best things in life are free. I’ll go one further.

I’ll say that you shouldn’t look for happiness in the bottle.

Next time you are asked to bet on red, or black, put all your money on blue,

and walk away.

Don’t buy a pure-breed as your next pet;

feed the birds, play on the swings.

Breathe in the charity and humanity around you,

and let it show in your exhalation.

See those that are trying to find happiness in the spending their earnings.

Observe, and let go of it.

They say that the best things in life are free.

I’ll say that the best things will remain hidden from you

as soon as you approach them with money in your hands.

Enjoy the free-dom.
