Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you"
- Nathaniel Hawthorne
With this quote, I find Mr. Hawthorn (beautiful name b.t.w. -poetic) partly right. Finding happiness is about how you persue it, it's not a matter of if. Even if sometimes it can find you in a way you didn't expect. I believe that, no matter the nature of the pursuit, everybody is always looking for happiness. At least of some sort. But I also have the notion that peace is a state you have to reach on your way to happiness. So sitting down quietly, in all it's metaphoric splendor, might not be such a bad idea.
And also, like a butterfly, happiness is very fragile. But if you look around, you'll see that new ones are born everyday, flattering within your reach. And simply the nature of the creation of that happiness, is a beauty great enough to take your breath away.
