Every human being in this world wants to be owner of a beautiful villa, with 5 luxurious cars and few bank accounts with surplus and never ending flow of money. It is the mindset of a common man. A man aspires all these things hoping that these things would make him happy all his life. If the man aspiring these had ancestral property and he being the only heir of his property, his dream has already come true. What if the person aspiring these is a common man struggling to reckon in this society ?
Yes, these are the hopes of a common man in today's world. His hopes are high, dreams are huge but his efforts are meagre and that is the reason for his backwardness in the society. A bag full of dreams without a Zip is such a waste. Unless you have the Zip of Zeal to bring out your dreams, you are no less than a locked bag.
And how guaranteed are you that you'd be happy forever after you achieve these ? Gandhi lived his entire life in little garments yet he claimed he was the happiest person in this world. Is it these material things that make you happy. Say, I buy a huge villa. Will that make me happy and stop my dreams. No! The next day I start dreaming of having the same huge villa on Moon. Is that possible ? May be Yes, but are you stopping BTW ?
Dreams are like forest fires. They catch very fast and do not stop so easily until and unless you control it with your pure water like mind ! World is crazy about winning. You don't always have to win. Even if you win, you haven't won the feeling of having lost ! So, don't gear up for unnecessary dreams that doesn't leave you happily in the end !
As a person sees the world growing around him, he tends to lean into its growth and assumes that he is growing. But, in fact, the world is growing and not him. To observe growth, one must define his limits and stay with in them, otherwise he is deflating into a PEANUT !
Is it necessary to strive this hard to achieve Peanut sized happiness ?
