Ever since your childhood u wanted to do certain things.. u wanted to be independent.. although at that time u did not know what independence means other then not taking permissions from parents.. all you wanted was studies to get over quickly and you start earning so that you can own things that so many other people do.. you dont know how you will do it.. all you know is that you wanna do something DIFFERENT.. but still u had a wishlist like all teenagers.. a wishlist of all the things u would love to do when u will GROW UP..
At that age.. the most desired things amongst most of us are - Having friends.. doing crazy stuff with them.. long drives.. talking endlessly for hours.. discussing about future.. discussing about secret love.. trying to cook.. scoring good marks.. wearing expensive branded clothes..etc etc..
When after a decade u evaluate yourself.. you find yourself doing almost everything that you had in your wishlist.. and if you strike out the ones that have been already fulfilled by now you are hardly left with anything more..
then what ?? what next ??
next is nothing but another wishlist.. now the priorities have changed.. and now you desire more materialistic things.. you wish to own a house now. you wish to have a family now.. you wish to be stable now.. and stil.. you want to treasure all that have been attained from the previous one.. but this is a never ending process.. you fulfill one list and you start with another.. there is no end of DESIRE.. the more you get.. the more you desire out of life.. the law of diminishing marginal utility wont apply here..
You know that the more u will run after it.. the more you will loose life.. but still its a rat race.. and you are running like everyone else.. because all that you see is - what will happen in the future if i dont do it today !!
but where is future ?? and what future holds for us..
nothing else but yet another wishlist !!
