LJ/Dreamwidth Idol Week 6- Pursuit
You are always pursuing something or being pursued by it.
From early elementary school on we learned about the Declaration of independence and “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” – what does that mean, exactly?
It firmly states “pursuit” – it says nothing about actually catching it.
Meanwhile, other things are pursuing you as you try to avoid them.
Health problems and their accompanying medical bills, a job that seems to want more and more of your time and energy for the same crappy pay, trauma, memories, piles of laundry and crap you haven’t had time to deal with - you name it.
Maybe the secret to life is that is just a chase – the pursuit of what you think will make you happy, while trying to avoid other things, or deal with them and keep them from chasing you.
