Little boy sitting and contemplating why adults work

   It was mid-afternoon and the sun was enveloping the Earth with a warm embrace. Zavian was sitting on a wall by the road and enjoying the warm air and cool breeze. Kicking his legs back and forth, he was nonchalantly observing the busy traffic. Honking horns, shouting drivers and crying children. Why were these people so rushed? Zavian couldn’t see the point. Here he was, enjoying his afternoon, while everyone else was stressing themselves out by rushing from here to there. Of course, it is good to work and travel, Zavian thought, but I don’t want to fill my time up with so many plans and to-do lists that I can’t enjoy myself! Happiness doesn’t come from having done things, happiness comes from enjoying what you have done. And with that, he hopped off the wall and skipped his way home.
