Locked DoorYou can get anything doesn’t mean that you can have everything. Life has so much on offer that none can have all of it. Even with unlimited resources, whether financial or social, our unlimited wants don’t seem like being fulfilled. Everything comes with a price tag, price that money alone can’t meet. Its price of emotions, price of resources, price of relations, price of other less important wishes; paid with sacrifice, paid with fears, paid with compromises and paid with money. Sometimes, even when we had all of resources to get something; we can’t get it. How more selfless human could be?

Wishes are like closed doors opening to new doors, each having numerous locks, each requiring number of keys to get opened and each one has keys(to next door) stored in it and nothing else. We keep on collecting keys, keep on opening the doors but never achieve anything, never get satisfied, never get complete. Our only satisfaction is to unlock the door, its sense of success that we get. But it doesn’t last longer, we get attracted to next closed door and yet again we begin collecting keys for the door. Keys are like resources required to un-lock the wishes.

It seems like life keeps on making us fool. It never takes hope away from us. We wish to savor sense of satisfaction beyond every unlocked door. We strive for every wish like it was our last but no-one is. It continues on, till we meet the final door, the death. Perhaps it’s the ultimate sense of completion that we’ve been looking for throughout our life. But how could it be? It’s completion of life, not ours. What have we been striving for? Our destination or that of life? Our completeness or that of life?

Our life and our self are different, entirely different things. Life keeps on driving our self in a way that we feel incomplete just because life’s incomplete. We keep running after life’s wishes and aim for satisfaction of our self, how could it be possible?
