Tada! I found it. I guess using the term “meaning” is taking a few Godly liberties, but until told otherwise, I'm gonna go on with my bad self. So what is it, you ask? It’s…the chase, and here’s why. People spend their entire life consumed by “the chase”.
As a child, it’s at the playground.
As a teen, it’s social acceptance.
As a young professional, it’s success (and maybe a little ass on the side).
As a “domestic” adult, it’s the American Dream.
And as an elder, it’s their legacy.
Though the object of the chase can vary greatly from person to person and change multiple times in our time here, we all spend our entire lives in pursuit of something. And on the off chance we attain the object of our pursuit, we chase something else. It’s hard to come to this conclusion from a forward looking perspective. I kinda had to deduce my way in to this one. I figure that something is defined by what is consists of. And if your life consists of you chasing things, then is that not defining your life? So defining and meaning are not exact synonyms, but not everything can be taken literally…especially not me.
