“Some people do not have to search for they find their niche early in life and rest there seemingly contented and resigned. At times I envy them, but usually I do not understand them…and seldom do they understand me. I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we completely content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach. We are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power and unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like the forests, mountains, deserts, hidden rivers and lovely cities as well. Our sadness with the ones we love is perhaps as great a joy as we know, unless it is to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself and for anything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we want to love and be loved, to live in a relationship that will not impede our wanderings and prevent our search. We do not want to prove or compete for love. This passage is for the wanderers, dreamers, and lovers who dare not ask of life everything that is good and beautiful.” – Unknown

You may want to check this web address, but I believe the quote makes a little more sense in a few lines if you read it the way it is written the following (also gives the author’s name): by – James Kavanaugh
Some people do not have to search –
They find their niche early in life and rest there,
seemingly contented and resigned.
they do not seem to ask much of life,
sometimes they do not seem to take it seriously.
At times I envy them, but usually I do not understand them.
Seldom do they understand me.
I am one of the searchers.
there are, I believe, millions of us.
We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content.
We continue to explore life,
hoping to uncover its ultimate secret.
We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand.
We like to walk along the beach –
We are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power,
its unceasing motion,
its mystery and unspeakable beauty.
We like forests and mountains,
deserts and hidden rivers,
and the lonely cities as well.
Our sadness is as much a part of our lives
as is our laughter.
to share our sadness with one we love is perhaps
as great a joy as we can know —
unless it be to share our laughter.
We searchers are ambitious only for life itself,
for everything beautiful it can provide.
Most of all we want to love and be loved.
We want to live in a relationship that
will not impede our wandering,
nor prevent our search,
nor lock us in prison walls;
that will take us for what little we have to give.
We do not want to prove ourselves to another
or to compete for love.
We are wanderers, dreamers and lovers —
lonely men and women who dare to ask of life
everything good and beautiful.
Those who are too gentle to live among wolves.
