Wanted...part 2

A few days ago I had updated a list of things I want in my life to happen….and to this day I realize what are we doing in our lifes..what are we here for….are we doing anything purposeful…nything that could change this world…..na nothing…zilch….zero…

What we are doing is running after our dreams…and fulfilling a handful of responsibilities that come our way as duties….

What are dreams? Our dreams are our wishes, our desires..its our ego….its our subtle way of saying or showing the world who we really are…with money, power, with status.


And when these dreams aren’t fulfilled we are shattered, frustrated, broken, ..we revolt around and shout about the world’s unfairness to us….the ego is bruised.

We have made our lives complex by the growing day..by giving all the socially acceptable names and tags to all the not so acceptable things…

Don’t you think childhood was simpler….everything was clearer. A yes or a no would end it all. A child has the freedom to say no to a touch, to a pinch, to an arm he doesn’t like…. A child has the freedom to ask for things she likes and throw away things she hates…a child has the freedom to be brutually honest…

We ourselves have robbed ourselves of this innocence, of that freedom….to pursue our so called dreams….

does life becomes complex because of things that we are unable to get ... a childs life is simple because you tend to look at it through your mind... and then what is simple and complex, but state of mind ...

no life does not become complex if we dnt get one thing...but nothing in life can be seen in isolation...one thing affects another...so sometimes the complexity is visible..:)
simple and complex is not like white and black...its a palette of colours.
