Human Life..A Puzzle game!!!!

Life, its truly a great teacher, rather an excellent learning experience I must say!!!

Sometimes it makes me wonder what it is exactly that we humans want from our life. Our desires never end; we keep on craving for something or the other throughout our life.

When a child is born, he is not aware of the outside world. As a child the only thing we knew about is our loving parents, to laugh and play, to enjoy and that seems to be our small world - our parents, our siblings, friends constitutes our world. We were so ignorant about the world outside that our "small world" meant everything to us.

As a child the only thing we wanted is good marks in all the exams of each class. As a teenager we spent our life writing hell lot of entrance exams just to seek admission into a college, and once we have gone through that phase we again start worrying about finishing the degree as soon as possible and to step into a professional world.

After being part of corporate world ,lots of other desires start coming into our minds, we start aiming for more better job , more luxiourous life style. Years after years we keep on struggling, working hard just to earn few bucks and make investment plans for our future. God only knows what he holds for us in future!!!

Buying luxurious items takes priority, we again start craving for something or other..high end car , luxurious flat , big investments. After all we are humans...our desires never end, even if we have achieved what we wanted we again set a next target and start craving for it.

Once we settle down with our life partner, I know for sure people desires for the next big thing in life would not have stopped.We have kids , and their responsibility takes priority than anything else at that point of time, we start planning for their future and wish to see them get settled in their life. Finally we retire from work and at the age of 60 we feel that yes, now that my kids are settled in their life I can die peacefully, I have nothing to worry for.

At each stage right from childhood we kept craving and craving, we were never contented and satisfied with what we had, we were always in pursuit for more, our wishlist never ended throughout our life.

We set goals for ourselves - short term and long term , and when we are done with achieving those goals we are behind yet another targeted milestone!!!! These things really amazes me sometimes and makes me feel that life is puzzle!!

Have we ever lived our life?? Is the question that bothers me..
