Should Charles Bukowski be content or want more in life ?

    From my thinking perspective I think the poet should improve his lifestyle and start fresh and I also have a few reasons. First of all you need somebody in your life that can support and guide you in any path of life you take. That means healthy relationships are important and even if you have one person like that in your life that's really great because you know you have somebody to share everything with and also , because you have to admit humans are always socially engaged with everything which makes them living social creatures that need a healthy relationship to surivive. 

    Secondly I also think the poet should aim to start fresh by getting involved in something that makes them happy. Everyone has a place which makes them happy no mater what wether it be school, work or even a friends house. I think the poet should try getting involved into a job where he/she can express and show their amazing talents and also earn money for doing that. I mean ''money can't buy happiness'' but it does buy the essential needs and wants of a human and we all have to admit if we all didn't have money how would we all buy food, cars and houses. The poet could could find a job and then when he gets his pay cheques he could slowly build up to buy a house and for now he could live on rent in a small apartment. When he starts getting money he could buy all of his essential needs like food, clothes and shoes , a little bit of money could start something huge for the poet. 

    Lastly the poet also should move on in life. What I personally mean is if the poets  always ''sleeping on park benches'' and in dirty motel rooms and even might be going to jail. Then the poet's view on life is really bad because the poet dosen't know and understand all the different opportunities there are in life to succeed and become a better person in life. Also having a difficult childhood has a huge impact on his thinking of the world because he thinks and acts similar to his father. When your a child what you see is what you act like for example if you see your parents arguing or shouting you might start doing the same with somebody else. Sometimes your view of life could be based on your parents actions. 

   In conclusion ''How Is Your Heart'' is a poem that makes you think hard on what prespective you have on life personally and if you should be happy with what you have ? Or if you should want more ? It made me think harder about myself too because now I wonder if I should want more ? Or if I should be happy with what I have in life ? I suggest everybody to read this poem if you haven't already and then ask yourself the same question.
