This is my first post in 2007, amazing how time passes by..it is through both the contemplation of the future and the disdain of the past that one can distinguish happiness..real happiness..from common content.
Small things are probably the essence of clear..transparent..lucid happiness, the touch of a loved one can send hypnotic electrical vibrations through the mind..taking it into euphoric un-earthly state of joy..it lies in the laughter of a child..un-conditional..and true.
The pursuit of happiness may lie in material gain..but the joy one gets from intangible matters surpasses all.
Just like saddness lends delicacy to emotions..as Gibran once noted..Happiness lends even more delicacy to emotions..delicacy of the soul.
I love this post.. it has great meanings... and umm well it touched me so deeply...

Thank you..
ReplyDeleteThe post is lovely.
ReplyDeleteBut pursuit of happiness--or the achievement of it--can come from a creative, positive act or from creating something interesting and beautiful rather than from purchasing or consuming material things.
Many countries and individuals would do well to consider this.
Nancy, True..but happiness has two branches..the non material branch, which relates to success..achievement..etc, the other branch of the tree of happiness, is that which is realized through material gain, in most cases, and in this time and age, people have disregarded the free part of happiness, and concentrated on the material side..losing the essence of their souls.
