Pursuit is the evidence of desire. If you want it badly enough, then you will pursue it. If you do not pursue it, then evidently you aren’t hungry enough for it, and you can do without.
I speak for myself also when I say that our generation knows nothing about pursuit. In life we do not pursue. In love we do not pursue either. We are used to having everything handed to us on a silver platter, and in many cases fed to us with a silver spoon. Most of us do not know what it means to seek out something, and work hard to acquire it, to pursue something like it is worthy of the value you place on it.
In life we have parents, god parents, aunts and uncles constantly charting out a path for us to follow, providing the finances, connections, ideas, excuses, and a new towel when we decide to throw the old one in. In love, we are spoilt for choice (I rephrase – men are spoilt for choice), if the current relationship fails there are many new, younger models willing to fill the vacancy in a heartbeat. Somehow we have lost the ability to work for things, we don’t have to I guess it’s always there. Everything is at our beck and call, and willing to bow to our every whim and caprice.
I can’t help but think how much we are missing out on. I think the best things come after a little bit of work, toil, a bit of sweat and blood. The things we get easily, pale in comparison to the things we have to work for, in life, in love, and in everything in between. If you truly desire something more than anything else, the only proof is the ardour of your pursuit. I personally appreciate the things I know I have worked hard to get a lot more than the things that have come easy to me. I am sure most people feel the same way.
Xoxo.
