 ignorance

if you ask ​most people why they are living
they will hesitate before answering
some will not have any reason until they have thought about it 
yet they carry on doing things anyway,
all their lives.
isn't that strange? 
why is that ?
the reason is that
we have had our emotions driving us since birth
behind the scenes
​ so we don't know they drive us
we are so used to it
we don't hear a message all the time saying
you want to be happy
you want to avoid unhappiness
but the programme is running all the time 
all your waking moments
