the green grass.
have you ever wondered what might ensue if everyone got what they wanted? if every wish was granted? every whim, every fancy, every desire, craving and prayer answered and obliged? sounds like an utopian fantasy? look closer, and u realise its more like a prelude to a less appealing aftermath. if you saw glimpses of nirvana around the corner, it might just be an illusion. or a bubble.
there is an inexplicable -atleast obscure- hookup between seeking greener pastures and discontent. One inevitably leads to the other, sooner rather than later, for most of us mere mortals. why? coz we cant stop. even if we write our objectives down, neatly defined and measured. no. its not in our nature to be content -even tickled pink- and remain that way. the mind is wired to look ahead. and ahead -or even sideways for that matter- always seem to sport greener, thicker grass.
is there something amiss here, something wrong? something to be careful abt, to be warned against? is there something to complain abt? even if there is, is there a consequence? now, theres a thought.

I TOTALLY agree with you! I know for a fact that I have found nothing in life, yet that can keep me content for long... It's like if I'm satisfied in one area... another area of dissatisfaction will eventually crop up to torment me...
For as long as we breathe we'll seek and desire more than what we have. It's not in human nature to be content.
;-)
Unfortunately, it is a normal human tendency to not to be satsified with what one has got but basic aspirations should be met. Neccessities and luxaries are a subjective issue unfortunately.
if every wish was granted, we're be bored to death!
Happy Onam da....to u n ur lovely wife (btw when did u get married if u got married???)....dont have a clue...
N yeah If u say "Yes!!!! am married"...guess i have a lot to "complain about here" so there is a thgt coming back at u ....
@ ~N: but dontyu think its a vicious cycle? we get lured to smthg, then yearn, crave for it. even if we manage to achieve, procure wat we wanted, many a time, disillusionment follows. maybe its just the dark side being portrayed, but discretion doesnt come to everyone does it?
@ connor: and thaz just how it is. if you see it, half the work is done. the rest is in being at peace with it. the tuff half. :)
@ QC: not for the multitude atleast!
@ hiren: if its normal, then we dont really have a justification to remain sad and discontent rite?
