My 76th Post: Suppressed Dreams

The day we are born, we start dreaming of different things with each step we take...some dreams are just our fantasies which are impossible to achieve like having the powers of Goku but other dreams make up the aim of our life...with each growing year, we mature through our thoughts and evaluate each and possible way of achieving them....sometimes we are successful in our motives and at others, we sit down with a frown upon our faces...some of us stand up again and keep on trying, while others stay behind and accept defeat....
There are two types of people...some who have a totally independence over making any decision which they think would help them out and others think they lead but in reality, they totally depend upon their parents or any other guardians....being the second type would really hurt because at times, dreams are modified in something which their guardian wants...so in simple words, their dream dies and start living someone's else's dream.....

When we are young, we are asked again and again that what we want to be when we grow up...that is the question on each and every person's mind who meets us for the first time...we tell different things with time but somehow our aim was always linked together, it just got more realistic with maturity....then comes our parents who tell us that we can become what ever we want but when we grow up, different questions arise and our dreams are mostly crushed because it is not a good career to to be a race car driver that is what we are told by our parents....the thought in my mind here is that if we really can't decide what to do, then why are we given the right to dream....I mean if we aren't capable to live our dream, then that is our loss but if the time comes to live the dream and with all the capabilities we are denied to follow what we had in mind for the past years of our life, then it is soul crushing....
If a person is allowed to dream, then he/she should have the right to follow it completely only with the set of guidance not the authority of changing it from head to toe....if someone is given a task and offered a reward in return, that someone should be awarded that reward when the task is fulfilled....giving a task is just like telling someone to dream and then when the requirements are check listed, then he/she should be allowed to head towards it....I don't know why people don't understand that when someone, for example, is given the permission to learn lets see a guitar and if he/she is successful then he/she can try to become a rockstar...that someone hangs on to the dream and would learn the guitar because the parents allowed him/her to follow the path they dream on...but when the task is completed and he/she is told that being a rockstar isn't the right thing to do, become a physicist instead and no matter what that child has to listen to the parents, the dream is thrashed and clings on the negative side of the brain.....that would hurt a lot because that child proved his/her capabilty but still couldn't continue that because he/she was told not to....
If that is how parents want things, then there is no need of letting the child dream because in the end the path would lead towards what the parents had already planned from the being....supporting a dream and planting the idea of stepping forward and then when the last step remains, pulling back the ladder would hurt the child badly....it is better not to dream if there is no sense of independence.....
If a parent wants the child to dream, then let him/her pursue it if it is the right thing to do and if there is some problem with that, then state it clearly in the beginning ..don't take time and rule out the decision when the child is just about to grab it....that would help both the child and your relation....
Tc, do comment and share...and if there is something offensive then do share....just thought to state what usually happens in our society from generations....

My 16th Post: A wish

Sitting on a roof top, glazing up at the calm sky...just waiting for a perfect moment to see a falling star....as the star shoots out of the sky, the little girl, who had a teddy clutched in her arm, rose up on her feet and wished for an angel to fulfill her dreams.....
That rarely happens in real life....yes, the innocence of a child can make this happen but for a grown up, things change with time....we stop believing in a situation like this....the maturity kills it all....but what remains is the word 'wish'....no matter how old we get or how mature we are, we always have a wish....sometimes they are fulfilled and at times, we end our time and our wish remains dug up under the sand like us....
A wish, a desire always have a special standing in one's life.....it is like life is incomplete when we don't have a wish....one ends, and there is another waiting to take place....but still there is a wish which conquers them all....you can name it the queen wish.....even if we achieve that, no other wish takes its place.....
We spend our entire life to fulfill our wishes or someone's wishes who is special for us but we never realize that the bag of wishes gets filled up even more when one of the wish comes true....human being is a greedy material....we always want more and each time we get more, we want more....so the cycle never ends, we just keep on wishing and then keep on running after the aim of grabbing that wish.....like eating an ice-cream, that is a wish come true but afterwards we wish to have a cola....so it never ends...
Problem with some wishes is that they come with an expiry date....you don't really have enough time to grab them.....those wishes, if not having the time issue, have a chance issue....you only get certain amount of tries to get it and if you lose, you lose for ever....those golden wishes are heartbreaking and trust me, when you lose a try, the life trembles as if someone got the grab of it and squished with their hands.....but if you finally achieve that wish, it is just like a ride to heaven on this world which is just amazing enough to die for....
There are wishes which can't come true, I mean logically they are impossible but our Lord can create miracles....so in normal conditions, those wishes are like comparing a drop of water with an open ocean....but still the heart wishes, even though it knows and is advised by the brain that don't be an idiot, it goes on giving a try with a believe that maybe the person is special for God......
We all are special for Him and He would definitely listen to each and everyone of us...it is just that maybe that wish is not that perfect for us...so let Him decide what to give and what not to, lets just keep on wishing and keep on living a part of our life in the fairy land....
