what are we chasing?

I remember hearing my uncles making fun of adolescent boys 'chasing girls'... saying things like "they wouldn't know what to do with one if they caught her!"

Probably a lot of truth to that... but, well, us boys grew up and most of us - thankfully - figured out "what to do with 'em".... (I mean that in a good wholesome way, as in 'marry them and start a family, etc)

but how sad it would be if the older men would have been right about boys and chasing and ignorance and futility...

which begs the question, right?

What if you truly didn't know what to do once you 'caught up' to whatever it is that you are chasing?

whether it be a vice or a career or mate or a job or a car or.... whatever... will you know 'what to do with it' when you 'catch it'?

I heard someone a lot smarter than me (a large group of people, you know) say that we'd "better make sure what we are leaning our ladder up against before we start climbing"... (or something like that)

anyhow, just a thought...

let's take care that what we chase is worth chasing... and worth catching...
