Pursuit of happiness

It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I remember thinking how did he know to put the pursuit part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it. No matter what. How did he know that?

I always believe in an ideology despite the reality shown me they are good ideas, say if a perfect system exist, the imperfect lies amount the human.

American was never look so good when the hollywood created a beautiful packaging amount, like many of us, there is nothing wrong with it because sometimes we need packaging for other to believe, that's how the each person works, each society works and how the world works.

To me I don't want to be like that, i want to be someone my inside and outside match each other, if I am happy, my appearance show I am happy, if i am sad, my face should be sad, when I am jealous, i tell someone i am jealous and when i am anger, you don't want to see that.

I like that movie, maybe it has exaggerated from the real story a bit, never or less the idea is clear.

Happiness need to be pursuit.

Anyone who dream of something beautiful and do not put that into action, all those dreams will remain dreams, what the declaration of Indepedence clarify the RIGHT to pursuit all those things, freedom to work hard and enjoy life, under this boundry, we don't see many amercian work hard for their life.

Today I met a client, a brother of my friend, I was dead honest to tell him that success belongs to few, true happiness won't come without tears.

American is a country believe in freedom, even with that most people do not pursuit but wait for happiness to come, it will never happen.

Hong Kong lies between the western world and the eastern world, in a cruel way we do not dare to obtain the freedom western has already taken for granted, neither we want to be trapped in the extreme traditional chinese culture, it makes people harder to gain an objective, just don't see the point.

I have to work from a very basic fundation, my mum started to suggest the idea i should work for the government, stable job in another word, understandable from parents' point of view, but I can't do that anymore when i am carrying something more important than my happiness.

Yet I know I will have it.
