I don’t remember The Great Gatsby

… but I came across this quote somewhere.

“There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.” — F. Scott Fitzgerald

Then again, the Tao Te Ching says:

What does it mean that success is as dangerous as failure?

Whether you go up the ladder or down it, your position is shaky.

When you stand with your two feet on the ground, you will always keep your balance.

…

Desires wither the heart.

I’m pursuing and shaky and working on it. Where are you?
