Finding

"When someone is seeking, it happens quite easily that he only sees the thing that he is seeking; that he is unable to find anything, unable to absorb anything, because he is only thinking of the thing he is seeking, because he has a goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means:  to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal."
      -from Siddhartha by Herman Hesse (an amazing and quick read full of life philosophy)
