If one is blessed to be born phlegmatic

If one is blessed to be born phlegmatic
And never feels disturbances of soul,
Can never be chaotic or erratic,
And always plays a pleasant known role,
 
Those happy people know no desire,
No struggle of wishes, longing and restraint,
They live as easy as a log in fire,
They feel not much, their mood remains the same.
 
Yet, to achieve the balance being choleric
Is an unbearable and hopeless task.
In modern world, such effort is a relic
Of the abandoned religious past.
 
The easy tasks have very little value,
The harder ones are those that shape and tame you.
