When I was young, I had a dream to be a great man. My dreams went on accumulating and getting higher along with me. From then to now, everything has changed, except the dream which has always remained the same or has been replaced. Dream, people run the whole life for accomplishing dreams for tomorrow, but at last they get nothing, not even a hand to support, not a glass of water to quench the intense thirst and only the tired and crooked physique to tell you that you didn’t get what you had wanted and lost many things in your life in the way to get your dream come true.
I think we all are fools here running and working for tomorrow, what are we gonna do in life tomorrow nothing, not more that remembering the past and again knitting dreams for tomorrow. Tomorrow for me is a dangerous place to live in. I think the one who doesn’t live life for present and always animates for tomorrow has not lived life, why no he be hundreds year old but s/he is always a neonate for me. One of my friends used to tell me,” One day I will be in MIT, and at that time I will find you in Rio-De-Jeneiro, the next day when I will call you, I will find you in Saitama while I would be Paris”. These dreams are awesome. Now days when I remember these words, a desire to fulfill the dream instantly ascends inside me. But the truth is not what is thought. These are just dreams which lure us for some time but the reality is far behind then what is dreamt. In fact the truth is in the horizon peeping at us and waiting the day when all of us, the people of the world will pursue it, not the dream.
But what I say is that we need to dream. The moment we imagine that our dreams are fulfilled, a divine ecstasy osculates us giving us a feel of paradise. But these are just a way of survival but not the veracity. I had seen a writing which said ‘Happiness is not the destination; it is not the method of life’. Having dreams is just a part of life, not a life in itself. Where the fault is that, we make a life in dream instead of a dream in life. Dreams in life fill our life with a joy. This joy makes us forget that our journey is stiff and arduous and we have many mile stones to meet. So, I have left many of my dreams, I don’t not have wishes to be great, neither have temptation to be prosperous. But today the only thing I wish is to be a man by crossing all the roads as Bob Dylan had once questioned,” How many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man?” |
