Have all our desires been fulfilled?
Do we always get what we want in life?
Have our lives been always the way we wanted it to be?
Was it ever PERFECT? ...
Such questions can make one sit back and ponder. Make them rethink and rethink before all of them come to a conclusion. When such questions crossed my mind, I was dazzled by my own answers.
Coming back to my questions, have we got everything that we wished for? We do crave for so many things. A beggar would wish for all the luxuries that a middle-class person possesses. A middle-class person would look up to the comforts of the rich people and the rich people… well let’s just not talk about them. Same way, a hungry man would wish for food. A ragged beggar would desire for appropriate clothing. A homeless person would want a shelter. All of them don’t have a possibility of being satisfied. So, have all our needs and wants been fulfilled? The simplest answer to this question is “DUH!! Obviously not!” As a matter of fact, our needs and wants can never be satisfied. They are never-ending. (Class XII economics). It’s the human nature. Suppose I badly want a DELL laptop and I get one. Now, the next time I will yearn for a MACBOOK. So, this way my wants are taken to a whole new level. Let’s consider the other point of view which I think is highly impossible. Few people say that there all desires are fulfilled. But let me ask them a question, “ARE U HAPPY AND CONTENT WITH WHAT YOU HAVE GOT? DON’T YOU WANT MORE? WILL YOU FLAUNT ABOUT THOSE THINGS AGAIN AND AGAIN?” Just Think!
Moving on, many of us have some or the other time has wished for someone else’s destiny. At one point of time, I was so fed up with my old boring life that I thought what if I run away with every resource I have and then live a perfect life of my own. (That time I was inspired by the movie “THE RUNAWAYS”) But I realized my life wouldn’t be perfect even then. There will be so many obstacles that I will have to face all by myself. So it best to live our own destiny imperfectly than to
live an imitation of someone else’s life with perfection.
Albert Einstein once said, “Life is like a riding a bicycle. To keep it balanced we must keep on moving.” Life has never been the way we plan to be. The only thing predictable about it that it is very unpredictable. We have held on to so many grudges that the hatred for so many people have made us forgotten the path that leads to happiness. So never plan your life beforehand. Whatever we have planned we should be willing to let it go, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
So guyzz, to cut long story short life has many unpredictable moments, many paths and memorable times. So enjoy the surprises, explore new paths and cherish the memories.
