THE ETERNAL QUEST




THE ETERNAL QUEST for the meaning of life...


 'Q' is for QUEST.

 "...............You will never live

If you are looking for the meaning of life.”         Albert Camus



How futile to chase a  mirage,


Unreachable like the horizon.

Jumbled maze of the universe,

Was never meant to be unknotted.

Our journey is a pilgrimage,
Sans any cut off date or finality.
Yet crazy souls exit the world,

Famished by the quest.

The chase will continue,
However, fruitless it may be.

Happiness as the goal is elusive,

Doubts sway our hearts.

 The wise select a mission
And pursue it with a committed zeal.


 Here i end it on a lighter refrain:

  2. I think that life is a quest from start to end... and that we should not quest ourself to much but more often just put our energy in enjoying it.

    Have a nice abc-day / - week

  5. Life is a journey with or without meaning. For me, it is a learning experience to stay positive and keep on trucking even though....

  7. Happiness is elusive because no one who searches finds it and those who don't search often find it.
