I still know…

I know what I want

But sometimes,

Getting what I want is not the right thing to do

No matter how bad I want it

No matter how perfect it seems to be

To wish that I have what I want

Is to wish that unpleasant things happen

To those I care about.

Getting what you want

Doesn’t guarantee happiness

But you can extract joy

From the effort of making others smile

Helping them to get what they want.
