Do We Ever Get Satisfied?

So...hitting off with the topic, not to mention on a decent note on the last word of the title, I guess in life we're simply too occupied to notice the changes in our surroundings and within us! Sometimes, what we want the most may seem to be a dream, but based on a daily life basis, usually, it's a momentary matter. As:

1. During School days, the early ones, we craved for a toy the most. Some got it easy and played hard! Others may have to earn it, but still the same, cherish every moment of leisure with it! But come a new commercial or simply with time, the article collects dust and we move on to the next item! And so on....

2. Growing up a bit more....to the stage where playing with toys is no longer cool....we are now in the age of much cooler, costlier things - X-boxes, PS(s), Gameboys and of course, Computers! Be it a new CD, a new song/video downloader, a new Cartridge for PS1, Gameboy, of a new version of the similar hardwares, out shifts from one thing to another is now stronger, higher and most importantly, a bit more frequent! And thus we go on....

3. Now, we enter the era where everyone end up saying that the upcoming two years of our lifes will define to a major extent what we do and how we live in life! A bit tensed, a bit responsible we venture into academics with full enthudsiasm, but as the days move on....fatigue sets in! The ironical thing is that even being capable of judging ourselves...we always end up praying to God as to make us perform better in the exams!

4. Finally...the college days! Tired of studying for boards, entrances for the last two years, we all are looking for some serrious fun now! Sole intention is to be regular in college, but not for the classes! Making friends, finding soul mates are a part of the process, but in our minds : we all want everything - marks, acclaim, fame, fun, lady friends, girl friends, and so on! I guess this is the time when God seriously gets overloaded!

5. The last two years in college demarcate a stage when things slow down a bit! Fun is still there, but the nature of self development and career tensions set in! We now look to various exams and job prospects and better profiles so as to get the best of the lot! What we forget is that we must try for getting the best, not getting everything....which we all pray and wish for!

6. Inception of the career years! We leave our homes, our colleges to venture into the world as a professional! Of course expectations and anticipations are here....but hey, this time...we are saturated with fun! We want to work now! Damn Hard that too!

7. Getting absorbed into the job.....one's too happy to get a posting, a salary, a residence address, some good co-workers, but we want to try out new things.....going out of the line! Getting a good project, finishing it before time....doing multitasking, these are everyone's dream at this stage....but, we may wish to shy and live easy, but we all pray for the consequences of the earlier!

As life goes on...so do we develop and mature towards various dimensions! Our needs, our desires, our hunger....increases exponentialy with every year passing by now....but I am really amazed to see all these ironies in my life as I can look back! They say thirst is good for propulsion....but is it not also correct to say that smoothening out desires to a tone that can look applaudable later one as well....is much better? What say?
