In the sunburnt land where dreams take flight,
The pursuit of happiness in the morning light,
A journey through the mist, both near and far,
With hope in the heart, like the evening star.
In youth’s bold stride, we choose our jeans,
Best dressed to chase our dreams,
To be rich, to be famous, to stand tall?
A quest for happiness that captures all.
Midlife’s station, the grind of toil,
A battle fought on the sunbaked soil,
For family and kin, the sweat, the strife,
In the rhythm of cycles, the pulse of life.
As elders gaze at the setting sun,
Meaning found in a task well done,
In routine’s embrace, a contented tune,
The joy of moments, beneath the moon.
The pursuit of happiness, a shifting breeze,
Not in the destination but a journey amongst the trees,
A changing beast, as the seasons turn,
Its the dance of life – To find, to love, to learn.

What is more important, the journey or the destination?

Import-ant : it means to bring closer, what do you want to bring closer, the experience or the morality, the moment or the end of something? I say it’s a false rhetoric. Why not just get there however you like!

Exactly! The only person in the driving seat is you. So set your own path and ignore the outside noise.
