Happiness in pettiness

Jan 31, 2021

"keep your head high and always aim for the sky", a well written and indeed a well spoken quote, a quote which cheers one up and motivates you to focus on your goals, mine, was a little bit different, you see being a dunce has it's own sets of perks I guess, thus I was born without a goal and moreover wasn't moulded to have one thus till now I don't possess the curse of my goal or aim. One day strolling down the village I happened to look up at the sky and yes it was mighty filled with infinite glazes of people aiming for it and thus I remembered the quote,"always keep your head high and aim for the sky", I gave it a smirk and turned around the other way, a brief rendezvous was sparked between my eyes and the earth, I looked down the darkness of the earth I had been overshadowing, I bent on my knees to feel it, it had scratches engraved on it's body and bricks were exposed red seeming to have bled from the wounds, I had now been enlightened, you see aiming great is really 'great' but the petty things around us, the supporting ground beneath us,tiny pieces if grass hiding behind the bricks in shyness,these are the one which are either overseen in plain sight or looked down upon, and so I saw the life in them which I was searching in the sky, the life in pettiness, the life unknown, the road untravelled, hope I may achieve...............................~~~happiness :)
