Pursuit of Happiness

Running and Chasing without even standing up.

That endless pursuit in life that gives us that charge. The charge that assures us that all of pain in life is worth it. If only for those moments alone, we can sigh in relief.

Can this pursuit cause us extra grief if we are incapable of achieving what we had set out for? Quite possibly. Being let down by our own inabilities, albeit unintentional, feels as if we had abandoned ourselves. Possibly thinking we had let ourselves down and failed in life's endeavors. So in the pursuit of this relief from life's pain another realm of hurt can be created. In the last Thirty years I have experienced this endless cycle many a time!In 30 Years my net is still empty from my countless hunts.

Ironically the pursuit of happiness is non existent without sadness. Loathe something if you must for it only is what it is. Without the existence of tragedy we can not beget comedy. Thus leaves us in a world void of emotion. No pursuit, No motivation, existence on the simplest level. Birth, Live, Die, Process continues. Perhaps this would be beneficial to our planet and own kind. In a world void of emotion wars are not fought. People exist on a level playing field. No need for conflict in the emotionless utopia. Everyone is equal on an immaculate scale of conception and genetics. With no concept of good, bad or evil.

Acknowledging good, bad and evil, gives life to our perception of happiness. In order to accept one idea, we must reject another. Influence through life, experience, and unpredictable occurrences mold our perceptions. As we grow our life is bound to our emotions and they determine how we live. Every choice we make is RAW emotion at its best. All factors in our life drive us to do the things we never thought we could. And the things we would not normally do. Without it, their would be no "Pursuit of Happiness".

"If you find yourself searching for happiness, STOP. It will find you."
