i saw a man pursuing the horizon

I saw a man pursuing the horizon;
Round and round they sped.
I was disturbed at this;
I accosted the man.
"It is futile," I said,
"You can never — "

"You lie," he cried,
And ran on.

Isn't it sad how true that is of us at times? We hear truth, but ignore it and continue in our futile pursuits.

i think you miss the point. life is futile, and it is that futility that we must embrace, and in doing so find our happiness.
