The Pursuit of Happiness

Being a host, a user, of the tool of Mind
Discover yourself as witness to, one who Understands, Mind.

The closest approach to Seeing The World As It Is
       is to intuit what Perception cannot Perceive
              and thereby Understand
                     what Mind does, does not, and cannot
Contain.

It is not this Limitedness that must be mourned
But the injuriousness of those who lay waste
       to World
              by evading mourning and understanding of Mind
                     through the lived shared fantasy
Of Unlimitedness.

The pursuit of Happiness
       is the systematic evasion of the Understanding
              without which one cannot Mourn
As well as Love
In Gladness.
