Pursuits

I havent updated this for ages, but I now will...at last.
To whom ever is reading this ... hi.

Listen to this:

Happiness (fragment)

Ever again to breath pure happiness,
The happiness our mother gave us, boys?
To smile at nothings, needing no cares?
Have we not laughed too often since with joy?

-war poet Wilfred Owen
How far will we chase the happiness of this world, how far shall we leave that simple happiness we had as children?
The more we seek selfishly and soley after the happiness the world offers, that happiness of simply being happy no matter the consequence, the futher down the road we go towards ultimate selfishness as a society.

We can chase happiness all our lives, but what this world will never give us (although it tries) is meaning. And meaning is what this rough reality demands of our souls.

One thing I have learned- there is no meaning to be found within me, or within you. Humans are NOT the answer to the worlds problems. Yes we have our liberal solutions, but look carefully at these and very often they will produce a greater problem to the one it tried to solve.

...there is no such thing as absolute freedom, its a contradiction in terms, just as there is no such thing as free love. It is the nature of Love to bind itself.
... "I do." = love. Love = commitment.

Ravi Zacherias.
Be carefull in what you pursue of life, be carefull you don't take things for granted with out examining its roots, and it's fruits.

ciao

consequence spells with an 's'
and 'examining its roots, and its fruits.' not 'it's roots and it's fruit'

and 'Ciao' not 'caio'
but who cares!
