The Pursuit of Happiness by Umer Amir
What is peace? A concept quite forlorn, very unfamiliar to my mind. Yet every living moment I crave for it.
Happiness? What is happiness? A concept quite familiar to me, very savory to my mind. And every living moment I chase its likeness.The human mind is a battlefield for the forces of Chaos against the forces of Order. Chaos bestows freedom, Order curses you with discipline. Chaos bestows liberty, Order curses you with responsibility. Chaos makes u a maverick, Order makes you a lemming. Chaos grants you exemption from restraint, Order puts you in shackles. Chaos makes u a wanderer,Order binds you to a home. Chaos bestows insanity, Order curses you with sanity. Chaos bestows happiness! But Order? Order curses you with peace! Peace? Ahh peace! The concept quite forlorn to the mind seeking happiness, seeking chaos. A concept bound in the chains of Order and discipline. An idea cursed with a joyless repetition, with a life; unfulfilled. Yet; the very notion that quenches the thirst of the lost soul in the desert, the very destination that would serve as the end of the world. The real driving force in the life of a man. The satiating potion to the insatiable desire of happiness. The ultimate destination. The only achievable end.
Strive for Order, for discipline, for sanity, and in this cage bounded by the bars of inner peace, let the chaos slowly seep in... and you'll find happiness following. Still Just a few steps away from you, and then finding yourself in its embrace. You shall stop a mile away from the mirage... and watch the dark clouds gathering, and then the rain, following. Let your desire to be happy drive you towards peace, and then witness the bars bending, as happiness finds a way through.
