In pursuit of happiness

In pursuit of happiness

                     -To a friend who will get out of the temporary depression

 

I confess

I shouldn’t have gifted you a GPS

 

Zoom in

You are the moving little blue pin

Heading the direction told by the machine

Following that thing

Lost in a one way street

 

I promise

I will give you a map and a compass

 

Zoom out

You are the moving self on a map that’s spread out

Circle the destination you picked out

Remembering the direction

Arrive there no questions found

 

Something agreed upon

It’s not just easier the other way round

It’s because you are backing out

 

Being the little blue pin

Facing the constant changing scene on the screen

Battling with the machine

It’s not that hard to get dizzy

 

With the map and compass

You obtain the confidence

Two U turns bring you to the original place

Three right turns lead you onto the left fence

You count and control the numbers

You know exactly where you are on the maps

Many thanks to the broader views

 

Admitting there are issues

You are holding the steering wheel

Driving towards the general directions

No annoying interruptions

You maintain your self-awareness

You sustain your independence 

Toss that fancy GPS

Grab the map and compass

Seize the fire with the machine

You will find yourself in

Pursuit of happiness

给朋友的。退一步海阔天空。用了GPS和Maps的对比。不喜GPS-人成了被机器指使的一小点。喜欢用地图,方圆自在心中。 -奥吉- 给 奥吉 发送悄悄话 奥吉 的博客首页 (0 bytes) () 06/24/2015 postreply 17:17:42
