Gratifications, sometimes need to suppress them!

Since the day we are born, we have always looked at the world with awe and excitement. The world is filled with so many tempting stuffs that we sometimes lose our control in order to get them.

As human beings, we are always greedy by nature. Greed runs in our veins like red blood and in this greed we commit actions that have disastrous consequences!

In our limited lifetime and span, we know that we can't have everything we want and love, we have to sacrifice something all the time. We all have a need to enjoy having our gratifications fulfilled, to get the cozy comfort we think we deserve.

We dream of a life without tensions, worries, stable and attractive, which make other envy and we own it and control it like a boss.

Our need and gratifications have no limits, from getting the window seat in a plane, train or car, opportunity to get the seat right under a fan in classrooms, to get special privileges in any sector, to be part of something to boast about, to get some precious achievements, to get a good job with many promotion opportunities, to have a business that gets profit all the time to have a partner who will stand by us all the time for life, to be able to afford whatever we wanna buy, to be able to have whatever we demand every time, to have all attention and limelight on own, to put aside our ego and accept humbly for all gifts that life has given us and enjoy our existence for what it is without a mirage of a never ending greed!

Although some of these gratifications can be called as "need" but if we introspect then we understand that it is a privilege itself to call something as our "need" which is a life of dreams for many unfortunate souls, sometimes when we sacrifice our temptation to achieve and fulfill our demands of dreams coming true, not only will we appreciate when something generous happens to us, making it more rare to enjoy it more.

We should accept the fact that we are already fortunate enough to be able to exist and live and experience the universe even if the life span is limited, and hence we are all already winners in one way or other and even if some of our gratifications are suppressed, it is for good only!

For when we start to suppress our gratifications, for when we learn to be able to adjust, for when we kill our short term pleasures for long term benefits, for when are able to postpone it even at the moment of just getting it, for when we are able to do away with out inner heart and tell it to not shout all the time for getting more, for when our heart becomes content with what we already have and gradually take baby steps to gain more, for then only we are slowly turning from a person to a mature soul and become independent from the world and its materialistic pleasures.

Cheers!
