Dream called Life...

Formatted Soul
By Formatted Soul

I am in love with the dream called life, people love to hate & hate to love.

We fall because we confuse love with lust. Our love is conditional which binds us in chains of emotions, like a golden cage in which our soul is confined as a bird with the broken wing. The soul is unable to fly even when set free as it does not realize that it can fly again there is nothing in life but hope & love we live our life in our heart. Our mind simply makes us a computer mechanical, cold, calculating, devoid of any feeling. we keep going to our past & are so much worried about the future that we let our present go unnoticed. It keeps knocking on our door but in the din & roar of our mind we fail to respond.

I think failure & setbacks are only the wrappings in which life presents us a beautiful gift. We find the wrapping ugly & smelly & throw it down in the garbage-can without opening it. I love light because it shows me the way but I also love the dark night because it enables me to see the zillions of tiny stars not visible in the glare of the sunlight. If life presents us with a lemon let us make a lemonade out of it & drink & share our joy with others. I am, however, selfish while sharing my sorrow as i do not want to be make others sad. Life remains an exciting journey despite its ups & downs.

Just trying to be philosophical...:)

To share your sorrows with people in order to lessen its effects? (for those who understand urdu Dukh baatne se ghatta hain)

Sometimes we think beyond our usual thinking...that’s when such thoughts pop up….call it philosophy..or reality...its LIFE..

FS nicely written..

Quote" am, however, selfish while sharing my sorrow as i do not want to be make others sad" unquote... exactly my thoughts..

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here, we might as well dance.

This reminds me of an old Loggins and Messina song:

"Life is fine

Even with the ups and downs.

Take a sip of it,

Else you'll find

It's passed you by."

what a nice essay..

and yes.. real love cannot be conditional... otherwise don't call it LOVE...Love is self-sacrifice…

Does anyone remember when did he/she sacrifice last time?

And yeah, we don't know how to live in present.. we have feelings that this is only a draft, a rehearsal of the performance called "Life", and we will start living a real life tomorrow...no...

.. life is passing too fast.. Learn to appreciate a present MOMENT

Honestly, its a beautiful dream and difficult to realise, where we are going and agree that it is more of mechanical and materialistic in nature than having emotions and feelings to soothe.

What a thought expressed in poetic form, appreciate FS :)

You deserve and need a break!
