In pursuit of a Mirage…

Everyone one of us has dreams, aspirations, ambitions that give us good enough reason to live for. Without which we would be questioning our whole existence. So time and again religions, society all have transpired to instill at least one of those in us. 
The first few years of our life after birth are an eternal process of the society to make us civilized and fit enough to be part of the society... The next few years post puberty are the ones where we decide (or not) what will set us apart from the rest... All fantasies and day dreams are now replaced by ‘real’ ambitions and aspirations of the world. All the innocence replaced by knowledgeable smartness. No moment spared for plain idiocy; but all efforts channeled to make you a master mind or super brainy robot.
In pursuit of mirage of dreams and goals, in this modern world, have we somewhere missed the knack to be content with the simplicity of life itself.  The million dollar question is, what is it that defines us? Is it having innumerous and infinite aspirations vs. being complacent and allow nature take its own course? I would have to go with maintaining a balance between the duet. While it’s a handful who are fortunate to cope up with this unattainable quest in their lifetime, the lowly barely manage to squirm out of this web.


I would say, just hold on to your own dreams and aspirations, which even if unaccomplished, should dazzle you with their beauty and make you believe in them. Coz dreams are like stars… you may never touch them, but if you follow them they will lead you to your destiny. And at no point should disappointment overwhelm you if discover a mirage ;)… since Mirages will be there and bring about momentary bliss, but they will also be a constant beckoner that you yet have to reach for the stars!
