Haruna my friend, you are really so good in turning meanings to suit your own needs which is not bad on one hand, but sometimes frustrating. Regardless, however; to this posts as well as my own interpretation to the meaning; it said, you are seeking not you have got knowledge for happiness. Which means in the beginning towards your pursuance to knowledge, at that specific time you thought that, achieving knowledge will bring you happiness even if it does not at the end, which again, does not depend on knowledge per Se but ones own judgement on implementation of this "hope" towards one's happiness call Knowledge.
Again what does standing under the bridge have to do with this??? However, non of the prophets have ever been to school but yes if you like, they stood under the bridge with faith as their educator,to gain the knowledge they now share with me and you. However, knowledge does not come only from sitting on the school bench. Edi

Mams,
I sorta like this one but I want you to know something:
Some knowledge will not yield you happiness. You can seek BOTH knowledge and happiness. Don't let anyone tell you your pursuit of knowledge is really a pursuit of happiness. NO. The two may coincide in many places but they are different. Knowledge can yield you happiness but happiness will not yield you knowledge.
Ok I gotta go see Buharry's pictures I think they've finally friggin loaded. Bye.
Haruna. I was gonna tell you to go stand under a bridge and see if knowledge will come find you. But nevermind Mams.

You may say that you are seeking Knowledge, but, you are really seeking Happiness.. Happiness is a personal experience.. Happiness is also an ego experience.. Happiness is also a spiritual experience.. So, you have to ask yourself, What is Happiness and why do I seek it?.. Happiness is non- pain, Happiness is non-ego, Happiness is Love, Happiness is God.. This is a natural path that many have traveled before you.. these humans are well known to you.. Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Zoroaster, Francis of Assisi, and so on... These others have also sought Happiness.. you are no different.. you must walk the same path as these others.. The secret that these other souls have learned is that to achieve Freedom and Happiness is to throw away that which you believe is most valuable.. "The last shall be first".. This most valuable is "you".. If you understand this deeper meaning, then, this will be your last journey and You will return to Happiness... ........namaste,
thomas
