I wish

By Mansi Chaturvedi on 24th Jul 2024

If I knew I would have so much in life
I would never have wished for anything.
There were so many like me who did dream and wish.I would have left it for their opportunity.
There is no end to desires or wishes. There is no sleep if you don't dream. There is no hard work if you have no passion and there is no life without love and trust. We all wish everyday, wish for so many things in life. Then we even wish for it to be fulfilled. Never realise the one above has so many wishes to fulfill. We all need so much in life don't we? We might be the lucky ones in life to be blessed with so many things. Yet we still wish. There is always something amiss in life. There is so much that we want, not realising that what we have is still to be used. Imagine if all your wishes were granted , would you be satisfied? I guess not because we want everything for ourselves. Your asking and praying does not stop but your ignorance stays put. You ignore the fact that you will never be able to use everything that you have. If you move away from the queue , you might give someone an opportunity to move up a step, who needs it more than you.
Foolish would you call me! Does anyone do that anyway? I know a few might but what if do so? Then what is in abundance might be equally shared. Maybe a lot of hoarding would stop. Maybe a hungry mouth could be fed. Maybe an aspirant could get a chance to show their ability. Maybe a needy could get what was important for survival.
So many ' maybe' but very few to actually agree. It must be sounding insane on my part. Why not ask for less greed, less selfishness, less arrogance, less ignorance and more awareness, more empathy, more humanity instead.
Can you remember what was it that you wished for in the last twenty four hours. Let's see how many of you actually comment and answer my question. We are not here to judge you because we all do the same thing. If you feel uncomfortable or hesitant to comment. It's alright! I cannot say that I do not have everything. I guess I should be satisfied.Yet I wished more wealth, there was so much that I want to do. It could be the simplest or craziest of things.So let's see who does share their wish here and writes " I wish.......
