Old Woman and Her T.V.

She was around 80 years old. Every day she would sit in front of her t.v. and watch the fast-moving images motionlessly. Each time I looked at her, I pitied her, I pitied her life. To me, she was living in vain, without any purpose. Her life seemed nothing but a pure lie that needed to be told.
Ten years have passed since those days and nothing has changed in her life. She is still there watching her old t.v. But me? I feel guilty. I feel like a relentless cynic for having judged that old woman's life so unjustly- in front of my t.v...

Guilty by thought
Guilty of thought

Happy by mouth
Happy at heart.

Life just goes on.
