The pursuit of "what" for me?


After watching a movie, played by Will Smith. Pursuit Of Happyness (the “y” here is not a type error). It made us sad when we see this kind of movie, the kind of movie which tells us in details how people struggle with their lives, how to go through, to prove themselves before themselves and their loved ones. Even if the struggling looks small and unnoticeable and in fact in the real world, more bitter stories were a lot. But when it is put in a movie, with a touch here and there, it goes right to our heart and even can made us cried.
The story tells about a salesman, who is facing the difficulty to defend his son while at the same time prove that he can do something. This movie based on a true story. One scene which I still remember was when the actor passing broker office (this is what he will be later on in the movie) and he saw everybody smiling and laughing “ as that time was their happiest time” and at that time he narrated that happiness is not an end. It is the journey itself.
Once my sister send me an article about happiness. It said that we have to stop to wait for the happiness to come, wait until the other people will change their habit, wait until we loose 10-pounds, wait until we have a car, wait until we are getting married, get anew job. Wait until Friday evening, wait until Monday morning; wait until we passed this task, wait until spring, summer, fall, and winter. Wait until we can get an overseas assignment, wait until our eyes become prettier, wait until the freckles and pimples in our skin gone. Wait until we become less awkward. Wait until our sister is in her own feet and be a stronger person we expected her to be. Wait until the relationship with our boyfriend is a bit normal and we can’t forget how he looks because too long that we don’t see him. Wait until the world start spinning to our way. It will not and will never be, if we never realize it.


Now it depends to myself again, what pursuit do I want to run after? Whether it is a never-ending voyage? Where after all and everything, I found nothing but a-jar-of-golden-coins-under-the-rainbow story.Or another choice, that I want to stop at each step, turn around, notice everything and finally, always find something to say thank for the blessings?
