We are humans, we cry but we didn’t want to, we
laugh when we didn’t need it, but we die when we actually want to! That’s the
irony of our life, we can’t live it the way we actually want it, and we don’t have
much control on it. We always need something better, better than the last time,
every time, but we end up in taking what our life gives us, which is certainly
not the better from the last time!
From expecting no schools in childhood to getting
desired companion for life, it all seems easy at the first instance but it is
actually not! We can only expect from life to “give what I actually need!” but
it does not happen. Every day we crave for the treats but we are left abandoned
by our own life. A poor farmer expects that he can earn a better living so that
he can feed his hungry children. A soldier on the border expects that there
will no more be war, so that he can return home. A young girl, madly in love
with her prince charming expects that someday they get married and live happily
ever after. An unemployed youth expects that he get a good job with handsome
salary so that he can take care of his old parents. There are so many expectations,
so many desires but they don’t get this, but something else, something which
they don’t desire, neither expect from their life.
Why our life plays such games with us? Why can’t it
always be smooth, without any tension, without any agony, without any
unfulfilled desires? Can’t we get everything we want? The answer of these
questions, if not impossible, is certainly difficult to get! That feeling, when
you don’t want anything which life is showing us, making us suffer, offering
us, but we are helpless, is most disgusting! So, “dear life, please give what I
need!”
