Pursuit of Happiness..

Mistakes. The most dreaded feeling in this world is the realization that you've erred. That the 'perfectionist' tagline is just a farce and no human being in this whole wide universe is capable of being  infallible. It's not just how we interpret human emotions, but whether we make the mistake of misinterpreting them. Human beings are a complex species, possessing the deadly combination of a dynamic brain and an impulsive heart.  One that wants to soar like a bird and sing like a canary one moment, and strangulate some other poor counterpart the next. Sheer unpredictability and non-uniformity are inseparable characteristics of f us fickle   humans. You never know what to expect the next moment, like a box of assorted chocolates. For me, it's emblematic of receiving the favorite fruit and nut filling, only to be preceded by a glutinous caramel or praline one, much to the disappointment of taste buds. Incommensurable. Yes.That's exactly what we are. Beyond translation, beyond comparison. And beyond comprehension.
Treachery and betrayal makes us realize our mistake in reading people, in choosing our companions. Now we don't get to choose when it comes to kindred and filial relationships, but we certainly do have a say in determining our friends and foes. But sometimes, seeing through facades and deceptions can prove difficult. So there goes the first mistake. Not being able to construe  the fake smiles and tears.
Then comes the greatest folly of all. The mistake of permitting yourself to be treated  like a disposable trash or waste-paper basket. If you want others to respect you, give them something to respect. Value yourself, your intelligence, your intellect and knowledge. Those you judge you on the basis of your physical attributes and genetically transmitted physiological traits, do NOT love you.
''And if they loved you, they would not invite you to sin''
It is certainly not about looking stylish, sensuous and suave. It's about modesty, moderation and magnificence. Your figure hugging clothes will only arouse temporal curiosity, but just for a moment. The next second, you're nothing but an old rerun. Repetitive and mundane.
And last but not the least, the mistake of dependance. Depending on individuals who will never understand your need, who take you for granted. Who will never jump across a puddle for you, but for whom you are prepared to cross oceans and seas. Don't degrade yourself by asserting your affection. They probably don't deserve it at all.
But if by the strange calculations of fate, you do come across someone  as simple and uncomplicated as ABC yet mystifying like calculus, who will complete your sentences before the words even escape your lips, whose tongue will  give a taste of his beautiful heart, who is undaunted by the prospect of waking up to a drooling, open mouthed zombie with twig shaped hair strands every morning..
Who cherishes, sustains and completes you.
Who will treat you like his queen when you no longer look like one.
Who will safeguard your smile, be it wrinkly.
Don't let go. But remember,
''Happiness lies inside you.Not with someone else''
That is your pursuit of happiness.
