Zeal

Should one find something 

To be zealous about in life?

What does it mean?

To have that spring in your steps

Day in and day out

To jump out of bed each day before

Alarm goes off

To share that zeal with

Fellow believers

To not just think about

Oneself

Even if one finds “The Goal”

To be zealous about

Why does one do it?

To have “lived well” in the eyes of others

To hope to make sense of life

To flee from impermanence of life, or

Is it just something we invented for ourselves

To differentiate us from our primate cousins?
