There are two things one that is already mine if I want it and one that might never be mine but the sight of it is so alluring I have to at least try to reach out and grab it. But the thing that stops me is this one little thought that I could easily ignore but for some reason this one little spec of a thought just won't go away and it's because of that, that I can't move forward. Do I only wan the things in life that are out o reach? Once I get them will I find them as mundane as the things I already have in my possession. If this is true does it mean there is nothing that can satisfy me. Maybe not maybe I just haven't found the one thing that can grasp me and never let go maybe the things I think are what are going to make me happy are really just things out of my each that have the atheistic of an abstract painting because I've never been close enough to take them for anything more then face value. I'm lost but is it such a bad thing the only way you can discover something is when you are lost so if I'm in this constant state it can only mean that Im constantly discovering. But at the end of the day I guess a grasp of something really would be nice knowing would bring me comfort I do not feel now maybe if I just got my hands on one of the things precariously perched out of my reach I would feel or maybe I would fall on the rocks below.

How very Holden of you...with the fall on the rocks and all!
But seriously...this is the big question. Is happiness and fulfillment a never ending journey? it's not the destination...but the journey? it's not what you end up with grasping but what you did to get it?
A philosopher who I can't remember the name of said if we want to be happy we need to focus not on 'having' (that's a western, capitalist way of getting happiness) but on 'being' (much more Eastern. So it's not about what you want, but who you are that bring true happiness;)
