The Pursuit of HappYness

The other day I was watching this movie starring Will Smith-The pursuit of happiness. Boy oh boy !! Did I like the movie? Well, needless to say, I loved it...I loved simply everything about..it was so very close to life..real not reel. The problems in our day to day lives were put across so beautifully. A thoughtful movie indeed! But the movie just didnt end within the stipulated 2 hours. It left in a deep contemplative and pensive mood. I started to ponder about things in my life. What I perceive as happiness at a point of time changes completely after sometime. Then everything seems so very vague and lost. It would be needless to say that life makes me follow different dreams...having achieved one, I start in the pursuit of another one. So I am the mortally petrified soul seeking happiness but never contended with whatever she gets. I guess that quite very well sums up my motto..ALL I WANT IS EVERYTHING..tough and practically impossible, aint it? Yeah, even I realise that but then arent dreams the beginning of the reality? They surely are for me. Phew! Looks as if I am suffering from something which could be called "Verbal Diarrhoea".

And guess what, this afternoon I was reading Mitch Albom's Tuesdays with Morrie and there I go again. It added on to my reflective splurge into life and happYness. Gawd! Do I need something else now? There is a part in the novel which I really liked..Here it goes!

"Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted. A tension of opposites, like a pull on the rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle."

I fee so much truth in the above written thought. I really do!
