Material world is a mirage. I am quite aware of that and for that matter, most of us are. It sure is fascinating and alluring. Yet, it is something, we have been found wanting to run after. Desires drive you but it also leaves you frail if they remain unfulfilled. Desires and wishes are the biggest evils. They deprave you . To those whom success (in this case, material acquisition) is the only thing, wickedness is not too far. An unflagging approach is generally mantra to success. A typical man would cave into the demands There have been places and times when I wanted to move out of the situation and venue but something held me back, don't know what. And all that follows is the desire to get more of the unwanted, unattained. I always thought it was the intangibles that gives you mirth and merriment. But tangibles are also an species to have by your side and believe you me, it would make us happier if not contented .Agreed those items are expendables and something which is not to die for but it also poses a serious question. Can you really put a price on happiness and glamour? One dresses up to impress people. Mostly to draw admirers. The reserved and the shy guy that I am(signs of modesty ,huh???), these seem superficial to me. Truth is , I am not an individual who is unsettled by the lack of these things in his closet. But a denial on my part of not wishing would also be wrong. To crave for something and yearn for, is often seen as a sign of progression. It is at this crossroad where I stand. It clearly appalls me when I am witness to pretentious claims and acts of those who brandish their possession. And this is where it starts and finishes- the turmoil within. The perennial clash between the haves and have not's. All these novelties if looked in segregation lack a meaning, fail behind creating a purpose. But to the desperate it completes him. As a dualist, I believe in both the poles. I guess you don't always get what you want but what you get is better. happiness lies in cherishing those with a belief that life would only get better and will bring along happiness which then will be priceless.
