This is a satire, negative song I wrote.

Few of us are completely satisfied with our life status. Satisfaction is often not attained, so we want more. Often, happiness is defined in terms of what we DON’T have: “If I only had THAT…” that thing or that person.
If we’re broke, we think having more money will make us happy. But there are lots of stories about rich people who commit suicide. At least if they become sick, they learn money can’t always buy them health. Money doesn’t hold the magical cure many of us think it should. So we look for more ‘pots of gold.’
Competition is often produced by envy (one of those 7 deadly sins). We have envy for something, like getting one or more of our needs met, and this becomes like our main focus: getting our needs met. Sometimes we compete to get our needs met when we should be meeting the needs of someone else.
