It was right then that I started thinking about
Thomas Jefferson on the
Declaration of Indepence, and the
part about our right to Life, Liberty, and the
Pursuit of Happiness. And I remember thinking how
did he know to put the Pursuit part in there? That
maybe happiness is something we can only
pursue and maybe we can never really have
it. No matter what. How did he know
that?
