Making people happy

I feel it is my duty to try and make people happy.
This does not work. Not even momentarily.
I feel it is my duty to shield people from troubling news.
This does not work. Not even momentarily.
I feel it is my duty to put on a good face when I feel like puking.
This does not work. Not even momentarily.
Well I am being true to myself since it is myslef that feels the duty
to make people happy even though that will not work even for a moment.
I know, even while attempting to make people happy, that it is folly.
All of life is folly since all of us reach the same end sooner or later.
