Human fantasies dreams and desires are limitless, never
ending! We achieve one thing and the next minute find ourselves aspiring for
the next. We get a good score, we want better; we win a match, we wanna beat
the best and be the best! We get a job we start aspiring for a promotion. You
get married; you want a family and a kid. You get a kid you want her to be the
best and before you know it the kid starts aspiring for the same things. It’s
like a vicious cycle that keeps going around feeding on itself… the bottom line
being we all want a fairytale life with a happy ending but with an ever
changing fairyland and an end!
The point that am trying to bring home is that as we grow
our needs, our dreams, our perception to life changes. I still remember when I
was in maybe 1st or 2nd standard I was asked to write an
essay on “my dream home” at that point of time a house made of chocolates and
candies with a river of chocolates sauce
and all that seemed the best place ever. Then I outgrew it. And today (this
part was hard to accept but I had to) I don’t even know what my dream house
would be of...friends, happy family, prosperity, success or maybe just all of
it!
Those days were easier when I knew what I wanted. I had
limited choices limited needs and a clear view too! But now the road am on is
hard, is hazy. Don’t know what my dream house or my fairyland would be made of.
As we grow old we start hiding, things, hiding feelings until a point we
ourselves don’t realize the truth and we become masters of disguise!!
