on happiness

The ways of this world are but paths of and toward hunger; the pursuits of earthly origins do not satiate but instead grow emptiness and the unstoppable drive to fill it. But the pursuit of contentment is within reach for us all--the reach itself is its result--happiness inherent.

This truth is a reminder: happiness is not something to be chased and captured; it is something to be observed in quiescence amidst the tympanic chaos of this distracting world.

Let the implication be that we are by nature and ourselves alone bound from happiness as long as we remain as beings enchanted by the offerings of this earth.

Happiness is not of this world; that which will show us happiness is of the same characteristic.
