Maybe.  ….. Some people hide. Other people seek.
And I guess some individuals do a little of both.

I liked the whole game of it when I was a kid.  But it changes when we get older.

I have met those who seem to hide a lot.  The are content, I suppose.   Maybe they are complacent.  The old way was good enough.  It has been that way for years.  Why change it?   Why look to anything else?  Good enough is good enough.

The hiders hide in different ways… myself included.  Maybe they are avoiding surprises for a reason.    Some must stick with the old plan.   Still others must  protect their property.   Certain people find comfort in routines.   Then, there are those who  are  ignoring their dreams and their fantasies.  Perhaps, just perhaps…. day in and out… they just won’t feel their true feelings.
And then.

The world has seekers.  Now this is a fine walk to walk.  There are some who just seek without any thought or care.   A sort of mindless and unbalanced seeking… desperate… or maybe even neurotic, or addictive.  This kind of seeking isn’t the real deal.

The true seekers, and I respect them wholly…. they are the ones truly want to learn… to know… to find out.  And they aren’t afraid to look… no matter where that looking takes them.

They may find out what they didn’t expect, or might not want to know…. but they seek regardless.   They attempt to find the honest to goodness truth of it all… this thing we call life.

They do it because they have truly figured out that connecting the dots is a process.  From here to there and then on to the next.

While the big picture… may always elude the human race…. perhaps the seekers are closer to it somehow.  And maybe that matters.

As the old saying goes… Live and Learn… …… and Seek.

At least, I think that is how it goes.
