The want to want more...

A man's life can end but his wants wont.. and the day they do... he shall be enlightened.. these beautiful dresses, branded shoes, a huge grand marriage, a 5 star hotel dinner date, a costly wrist watch.. and the most imp... a cellphone -WANTS. {INEXHAUSTIBLE}

The man who stands in a bus for a long time may say.. the man sitting on the seat is so much more comfortable... how i wish.....
Same way the man sitting on the seat may say "the man sitting on the window seat is so much more comfortable cause of the breeze.. how i wish...
The man sitting on the window seat may look at a person in the a/c car and may say.. how i wish i cud be there or afford such luxury..
But the man sitting in the car stuck in traffic driving... wud love the man who will walk by his car and reach the destination sooner.. he'd say how i wish i cud get down n walk it up..
But the man who was walking may love it even if he cud stand and go in the bus...
This is an unbreakable vicious circle.... the circle of wants.. tht may never end.. and to end this.. we have to grow out of being mortal.. need to be satisfied.. by which i don mean tht we shudnt strive for more.. always do.. but striving for more shudnt become a need.. nor a want.. it shud just be!!! we shud be satisfied that we are alive....

looking at those poor people on the road makes me want to give up my comfortable life cause if they cant have shelter.. proper food then i have no right to sit on this computer with the a/c on and me writing a blog... and to sleep on a comfortable bed.. eat mcdonalds burger... but how will my death make a difference.. how will me giving up my life help them?? tht was the first question in my head.. and i said.. just helping these people is now my goal in life.. and i will study.. grow up.. earn enough not to give away in charity but give these people a life they deserve... me wanting a rich life may be my want... or our want.. but in these fantasies we forget that our want cudn't be as important as their NEED!.. Lets prioritize guys...

Whats more Important... lets wake up... lets help.. as they have a right to live too.. lets stop wanting... lets help fulfilling needs... and like my previous post... lets love doing this..:)

well kanchan, this article is really praiseworthy. i read articles very critically, but this is flawless and very thought provoking indeed.
but in our real lives, we become so busy for becoming hilarious that we hardly give a serious attention to such issues. may be its time- to wake up.
Hey read this one too if u find time and comment if u wish :)-
