Beauty

Going to the mall always gives me a lot of questions to think about.
"Is she wearing a bra?"
"Do I need juice?"
"Why do females like shopping and talking?"
"Why are these kids so idiotic?"

As important as other questions may seem, I am going to focus on the last one.
Why ARE they behaving like headless chicken? What do they accomplish by performance random acts of... well.. randomness.
It is hard for me to think that I was one of them. (Was I?)

As insane and neurotic as they might seem, they are having one of the few best moments of their lives.. for no good reason.

It would take me a trip to, perhaps Reykjavik, spending nights under a bright blue and green lit sky, freedom to do whatever I want, no monetary, professional or social obstacle to be happy.

Oh yeah and at this very moment a strawberry cake would make me happy too.

But why are they happy, running in an overcrowded store, probably getting hurt in the process.

At first I thought it is because of 'freedom'. Whenever kids appear happy, I guess it is mostly because they are doing whatever random things they can inside the boundaries of their limited capabilities. That is freedom, isn't it? Unless of course they try to redefine freedom later on in their lives by trying to push that limit further.

Or perhaps because of their limited needs.

Or perhaps I am confusing the effect with the cause.

Would you want to revert back to that mental state? Mind you, you don't get to conspire or architect ways to be better than those around you. At least not as much as you can do now. You don't get to have revenge and you can't betray. But most importantly, you lose your grudges and regrets, things that give quite a few of us the purpose to live.

Is that a price too big for happiness?

Beauty is there if you want it to be. It stays somewhere in your mind. Only if you could stop. And uncover it hidden between the moments fleeting by.

But will we take that chance and lose to our innocence?
