Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Such beautiful
words to live by and aspire to.
Life is a gift, granted without our consent. We are given
this beautiful experience of being part of this world, on earth as an organic
being. After we receive this beautiful present, it’s in our hands what we make
of it. We can mold it into a memorable journey, build a beautiful legacy and
live it to the fullest. Or we can live a life of delusion, disillusion, and desire
to achieve nothing. A life unlived is a life wasted, as if it were spent behind
an invisible fence, behind bars in captivity in absence of freedom.
Liberty allows us the freedom to be free, to choose to be who
we are and what we seek to become. Liberty liberates us from our own soul, our
inner inhibitions that control us with a tight fist, red knuckles and all. A free
bird can soar high and achieve new heights. It allows love and beauty to flow
freely from our hearts and soul that opens up the world toward being a peaceful
place, harmonizes all beings and creates room for a life truly lived.
Happiness is not the ultimate as the evolutionary theory supports.
It’s the pursuit of it that drives the human race forward. Our algorithm, our
design stresses on desire and pursuit more than definitively achieving the
ultimate goal, even if it is happiness. Day to day, year by year, we seek
moments, things, people, places that provide us happiness, but it’s our journey
towards that goal, that is the goal itself. We pursue and continue to chase
even when we reach the end. The pursuit of happiness is happiness in itself and
that is what builds and develops our journey in life.
Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness is a good guideline
for this journey we call life. The founding fathers of this great nation had
great foresight to see these three simple words apply through the length and
breadth of human history.
