Ode to Joy

There are those of us who are content to allow our lives carry us in whichever direction, and we find joy in the places life takes us.

There are others who think long and hard about what it is we want and find joy in obtaining it at last after beating the odds.

Then there are those of us who can’t decide which of the two we are; and thus we let life carry us, and think long and hard about where its taken us, only to find that we can’t decide whether or not its given us joy at all, but for the sake of coming to some conclusion, convince ourselves that we can only find joy in what we have left behind or have not yet been taken.
