Chasing and Being

Chasing.Chasing.Chasing.
Technology. Ipod. Blackberry.
Chasing.Chasing.Chasing.

Being.Being.Being.
Grass. Butterfly. Water.
Being.Being.Being.

Chasing.Chasing.Chasing.
“Hey look at me.” “Praise!” Ego.
Chasing.Chasing.Chasing.

Being.Being.Being.
“I love you.” A tear. Calm.
Being.Being.Being.

Chasing it.
Taking it.
Living it.

About David Askaripour

I've been thinking about life, existence, and truth for as long as I could remember. When I was about 7 I remember getting a headache trying to figure out who created God...and if someone created him, then who create him? I love investigating and testing, taking nothing for truth that outside my direct experience. At the age of 12, I started my own candy selling business; it grew so large that the principal ended up closing me down (but that was just the beginning...) Through my videos and articles, I share my journey with the world.

    Hey Akhil, yes I would call it a race of sorts. The race between running after things and letting things be as they are, naturally. I was doing some meditating on this theme and it’s amazing to see how we slave over so many things that really don’t matter that much. How we try and force everything to be a certain way. And how technology, though helpful, has become an addiction. We think that we’re so in control of technology, but in reality, technology seems to be doing all the controlling — not us.

    Thanks so much, C. Yes, we can take control. Control in a world where most of us have lost control and haven’t even realized it. Sad. But, fixable. :)

    What’s up bro. Thanks dude, much appreciated. It’s all good if you’re “chasing.” Just try and keep the balance. Chasing is okay as long as it’s trailing “being” — they need each other. Polarize each other.
