Happy are those...

It's one of those things that keeps cropping up in my mind over and over again. That voice-over dialogue from the move 'The pursuit of Happyness'...he says something like the pursuit of happiness is such a meaningful phrase. How did they know that happiness is something that can only be pursued. They could have said it is the right of a person to be happy, but no, they chose to say that it is the right of a person to pursue happiness. Is happiness not achievable?

At the place that i am, more than an education, i have received hard lessons on life. It has been a growing up process that solidified some notions, gave birth to others, and squashed some of the same ones.

Strength is a function that is independent of external variables: Solidified.  
Trust is temporary and painful: Solidified
Faith is permanent and but blind(and rarely found): Solidified
Happiness can only be pursued: Newly formed
Pain may have no source: Newly formed
Life is a bed of roses with thorns: Solidified
The world is a good place: Squashed
Sadness is temporary and flippant: Unvalidated
Self worth is decided by the highest bid in an auction of people around you: Squashed

...and many more others that I find hard to pen down. All in all though, Life is Good. But sometimes there will be two years in it that let you know it is up to you to keep it that way...

"Happy are those, who realize that the fun lies in the pursuit of happiness and that will go on forever"
