"I saw a man pursuing the horizon" by Stephen Crane 

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.

    there's a good message in that. Don't let others tell you what to believe. I like it.

    @The Wired But the pursuit makes him happy, sometimes a goal is enough, whether or not it's accomplished :)

    I guess the adage 'time you enjoy wasting isn't wasted' applies!
