Apart from being a brilliant brilliant movie, I think it is really what we are all made for. It is a fundamental right. Not because the government says so. But as human beings, being a species that can think, feel and emote we are entitled to the pursuit of happiness.
Each of us deserves to pursue happiness. Whether we can catch it or not is a different question altogether. It depends on cicumstances, our attitude, personality, so many many many complicated yet simple, apparent yet elusive, easy yet difficult, voluntary yet uncontrollable and seemingly insignificant yet vital decisions, actions, thoughts, people, events and also a bit of fate, really.
And so, if one feels that a particular pursuit is going nowhere, and is basically leading to quite the opposite of what one had bargained for, then one has every right to change direction and take up another pursuit. Cause end of the day, one should move forward and not backwards.
So Calvin, I wish you all the very best and I hope you are happy always. You deserve to be.
I know I do too.

yeah i hope happiness prevails...
but somehow, i believe, that when you pursue something, its harder to find it. instead, just live your life the way you want to, and that should bring you happiness in itself :)
I don't reallly agree. Which is exactly why I said when you think it is going nowhere you are basically going the wrong direction.. So just correct yourself and take up another pursuit... however difficult it is to let go of the previous one...
