 | How far should a person go in the pursuit of this idea called "happiness"? Is there a end to this pursuit? Is it all in a vain attempt to achieve something that is all in all unattainable? Or maybe we all have it wrong. Each personal idea of happiness is so different from the next. Who has it right? Is it the millionaire who has everything they can dream of getting materially. Or is it the pauper that is married to the love of there life with the family they have craved since childhood. Can it be both or is it neither?
I should be happy that my marriage has been able to work out the kinks big and small. I should be happy that I am not struggling to place a roof over my head. I am, I am very happy that I have this roof over my head however it doesn't feel like a home some days. My marriage has done well working out the kinks as they arise however it's an endless job. Yet this elusive idea of happiness that we are all in such pursuit of, I to am still trying to pursue. Blindly!
It's a blind quest. No one knows the actual prize at the end. Or even where the end is. Can it be the heavenly abode that comes after one dies as some believe so fervently? That comes when the life lived was lived producing such good deeds. Might it be the feeling that comes when a beautiful babe is born or a attractive piece of art that was worked on for days, months even years? If it is just a satisfied feeling then can that feeling last a lifetime. Is it a lifetime that it needs to last? Can it actually be explained?
This quest, pursuit, this search is suppose to be the meaning of life, our right. Yet it is just filled with questions. Question the meaning of life, the reason our loved ones pass on and new ones are born. If there is a god and if so the questions are endless.
When a person finally does pass, are they satisfied with their quest? Did they complete it? Is that our prize, peace? Peace in death is that the only kind of peace that comes to us? Is that our award after a life long search? Is it the act of seeing the darkness of a grave? |  |
