What Gives Me Sorrow?
What gives me sorrow?
What gives me joy?
What gives me sorry is the tap leaking and I don’t know why, and I can’t afford a plumber.
What gives me joy is understanding, on investigation, why the tap leaks (limescale in the cartridge) and dissolving it with vinegar.
The problems in the world do not give me sorrow
as there’s nothing I can do about them.
A simple life is a joyous life.
