pursuit of my happyness

saw the movie - The Pursuit of Happyness, starring will smith and son jaden.


i quote from the Declaration of Independence... i read it and part of it says..

" we hold these truth to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit for Happiness".

what he meant by these truth to be self evident...i would need to go to history class, but i understand the rest of the phrase. i tried reading the rest of the declaration but got lost in the language, its like reading a statute. its what i call jamaizing! how can Thomas Jefferson write like that. how can anyone create such phrases and continue to make any sense at all. and yet it does make sense!

anyway, it made me think what i would be willing to do to pursue my own Happyness, despite the fact that my wants and needs changes as I grow older, except for the basic needs, everything else changes.

but that movie really moved me. go see it. enuff said.

and try reading the declaration of independence...see how you manage
