While handling the different strokes in life we keep struggling to get our wishes, our dreams fulfilled. I find it never ending. Long before a wish is to come true the seeds for a new one would have been sowed. The moment a desire is fulfilled we start working towards achieving the next. The hard work, the anxiety, the planning, the prayers have all become such an integral part of our lives that we can probably not imagine one without them.
A new wish born and we start working towards it. We hope against all hopes - if only this one wish comes true! We work hard. We get to make all ends meet. We really sweat it out both mentally and physically, We also seek spiritual blessings, we make requests to God even bribe them. And of course GOD is great at multitasking. Most of the time he handles the requests of all and helps us achieve what we have been putting our lives into. But then what follows next ? Momentary pleasure, rejoicing and then the very next day we would conceive a new desire and the journey would start all over again.
Why have we made this journey more important than the destination? Why is that once achieved the goal which was once the only aim of life become secondary. why do we forget our past achievements and always keep dreaming and thinking about what we are yet to achieve.
A poet rightly coined these words -
Dunia Jisse kehte hain, Jadu ka khilona hai.
Mil jae tho mitti hai, kho jae tho sona hai.
Which means Life is magical, if you get it, its nothing more than a worth of mud, BUT if you loose, its worth a gold!

Very true...Love the saying..
Very important facts of life mentioned above.Cherish what you have in life ! Show your gratitude to God for what HE has given you. Contentment is key ! Always remember not everyone has what you have and that there will always be someone who has more than what you have. However, how content and happy one is, is totally upto the individual, and this happiness comes from inside the individual himself and not from the material things or achievements he has had. Also a lot of times we do not enjoy all our journeys in life and keep waiting for the destination, and once we get there all we can think about is the journey ! Enjoy the journey, that's the best part, destinations keep coming and going like train stations.
You have put this so beautifully...if only people rejoiced enough when they got what they wanted, our world would be a happier place.
Reminds me of Emily Dickinson's lines...
I had been hungry all the years
My noon had come to dine
I trembling drew the table near
And touched the curious Wine
'Twas this on tables I had seen
When turning, hungry, home
I looked in windows, for the wealth
I could not hope for mine
I did not know the ample bread
'Twas so unlike the crumb
The birds and I, had often shared
In nature's dining room
Nor was I hungry so I found
That hunger was a way
Of persons outside windows
The entering takes away
well said..the levels and depth of demands of humans vary based on their current status.
Some pray for square meals, some for a BMW. Nothing is sufficient and we crave for more and more and more...
"GOD is great at multitasking" - a nice line...
your last line reminds me a line that i read in a novel "you never know what a gift you have, until you have lost it"...
Who Am I!
