Happiness Over Opulence

Truth instills virtue.
Love imparts sacrifice.
Compassion delivers service.

Not truth means no virtue.
No love means no sacrifice.
No compassion means no service.

Virtue instills trust.
Sacrifice provides care.
Service ensures safety.

No virtue means no trust.
No sacrifice means no care.
No service means no safety.

No trust, no care and no safety,
The society is in anarchy.
The cure is not prosperity.

Children must score top in these subjects,
And not in science and mathematics.
Happiness must score over opulence.
