When I lived my life almost naturally,
Like 'simply living',
I did not experience any failure,
Even if had I failed, I did not,
Understand the meaning,
Of this failure,
And I continued my pursuits.
When I started living it somewhat,
Artificially, and mechanically,
(this being due to extra pressure of work, and growing responsibilities),
I started keeping an account of,
My successes and failures,
And in the process I became,
Obsessed with even,
Simple mistakes I had made.
And I became sort of an accountant.
And became a person with,
additional skills,
And less of 'simply living' individual!
