cause sometimes its easier to pick up the fruit thats fallen from the limbs, than to reach for the apple of your eye. i guess it all matters to your preferences. are you happy with temporary and always searching. or happy with a constant and always knowing.

when it comes down to it, these two paths are our choice.

" There comes a time when a man has to ask himself whether he wants a life of happiness or a life of meaning... Two very different paths. To be truly happy, a man must live absolutely in the present, no thought of what's gone before and no thought of what lies ahead. But a life with meaning, a man is condemned to wallow in the past and obsess about the future. "

yes its from heroes danny.
for myself, a life of happiness is more appealing. i try everyday to get closer and closer to this, living so fast i simply dont have time to think of the past, or worry of the future. this life does not seem to fill myself with anything, except temporary happiness and stress. i have always searched for a life of meaning, searched for the path, the signs to get there, but i end up lost. i suppose it is not my time to ask which path i would like, but that doesnt mean i cant try.

and when i really sit and think about that quote, i believe its about growing up, not towards those options, but apart. so young all we can really care for is to be happy, and to just live. but there comes a time when happiness isnt strong enough. and we must proceed in finding meaning. we must proceed with living. and to have both i do believe is impossible to obtain together.
