more?

It takes us one small moment to have completely different view of life, people and things around us. Strange how we are hypocrites to our own beliefs and philosophies of life.

What we love …we love it till we really feel that it is good to us and loves us back and we hate it the moment it goes awry. And we hate a thing till we really see it hurting us in one way or the other until the so called object or person of hatred shows us a sign of affection/purposefulness. Not that I am complaining, I have done it times a one too many…and perhaps will do it till the end of life…thus are the ways of life.

It’s human to be not satisfied and its human to ask for more and more always. You call it greed if you have to make it sound lewd and aspiration if you want to sound it like there’s nothing more than that to your life…
…. greed/aspiration for more than you can see with million eyes, a craving to have things that you can collect with a hundred hands, pleasures that can put all your senses to work all at once, money that all the bank accounts in the world are yours and there’s still more to put away, food till you have tasted every bit of it and there’s even more waiting, applaud and appreciation for every breath that you take and still more….a desire to take everything from everyone and still feel that you have nothing!!!

This greed or should we see an aspiration for more (more and better) takes us places, we see, we look, we touch, we feel, we share, we care, we move , we stop, we cry, we smile… for everything that we get and tend to fail to realize one thing..that what passes by once will never come back…the words said, the actions done….get embedded in your life like a part of some tattered pages in an old history book….and fail to realize that in our effort to look for more (more better) we miss out on what we have in front of us …this very moment.
