Easy to say

Wise words flow freely from the tongue,
like honey,
smooth sounding,
profound,
yet
in the end,
it can be BS,
for nothing is easier than talking on how life ought to be lived,
yet
in the doing is the trick,
for wisdom evaporates in the mundane of everyday,
mindfulness scattered,
too busy just surviving to think about such things,
so much to do,
so little time,
for much that in the end is not even important…… .
Self interest not always bad,
though at times it can cause great harm,
like drunken capitalism
with no thought for others
or in any kind of real future,
for to lack presence is to seek and cling
to what one is not present to,
while being in the now allows one to let go,
though again,
easy to say,
hard to do,
perhaps even impossible
most of the time.
What are we to do?
Perhaps
in the end we simply can’t.
Or
It is only my own struggles I am talking about.
