happiness

Behind and before me lay direction. The same, different, completely oppisite doesn't matter. Direction implies movement. An area of focus...

I guess I'd go back if I could. But I've been told it's because it's comfortable there. We are creatures of habit and the challenge of change, although exciting, becomes frightening when it's not just a thought but an action.

In the Declaration of Independance, Thomas Jefferson said that we all have the RIGHT to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." But did you ever notice the word pursuit? As if happiness is something we can only pursue and never attain. Sure at times we feel happy, but never completely content. We are always reaching for something.
