Pursuit of happiness, that what most people seek in their life. I think – for myself–
this idea of being happy, has already long time gone without a single trace. I do
not disagree about seeking a happy life, well, happiness is the very root of a life
fully above this earth. I love seeing people live a happy life, the scene was amazingly
joyful.

I’ve walk the path of darkness, and pursuing happiness neither in any part of it.
I do not feel that this life must be conditions by the act – the path – of pursuing
something that might crashed and blinded in its’ path.

When you feel unhappy, when you feel sorrow is unavoidable, you might just run away
to thou who give you a feel of security & comfort. Or you may stand and challenge
the life face by face. But its never fill the gaps between you and the unhappiness,
except a thin film of security, happiness or the proud of being able to conquer 
this life.

Life is me, the unhappiness is me, the happiness is me – they are merely the other
expressions of me. Running from myself won’t make me go any further, fighting myself
won’t let me solve the matter. But I know, accepting myself would be a chance to
understand myself fully.

Which implies, understanding the happiness & unhappiness. Pursuing happiness only
makes me end by separating it – by separating myself. How could I am separating 
myself? Or could you?

To life fully, understanding is the beginning of everything. And within it, I’ve
exclude the idea of being happy. When happiness comes, let it enter my deepest chamber
of gratitude, when sadness returns, welcome it by warm and gentle smile.
