Joy eludes us. It eludes our hearts and to distract ourselves we seek it in things and actions. So we travel, read, marry, study, move all in the pursuit of joy.
Are we addicted to a public spectacle of the pursuit of joy? Or have we been seduced as a society to believe it is our life’s goal? What if, just what if, this elusive joy is a myth? And no one is really happy for the sake of being happy?
There is overwhelming attention to mindfulness and finding your place in the world. How can we achieve that with any sincerity if we’re busy chasing joy on our plates, in our jobs, for our families and communities, for our extended family and forget about it our hearts and actions.
Living your moments, capture moments of joy and consign them to memory. It may just become your eternal joyful place!
The world tells us to be joyful and mindful, that our life mantra’s should be to shine, be kind, and succeed. But at what? There is no path, no map and we seem to be meandering along paths leading to more uncertainty.
We’ve learned to put on a good theatre and stay on the move… but the curtains come down.
And what will do when they fall?
