Happenstance Of Desires

Most of the time, we all wonder what happened. Our lives thrive between the thoughts of “I have done something wrong” and “I haven’t done anything”. In either case, we are not as happy as one would hope to be. I personally believe the reason behind these thoughts is our ever-present desire to have some more. No matter what it is, we always want more. When that doesn’t happen, we blame ourselves and others. We conclude that something had gone wrong or something didn’t happen entirely. We are so sure that if everything had happened as planned, we would have had it – whatever we desired.

The regret of having done something terribly wrong or not having done anything haunts us throughout our lives. However, have we ever stopped for a moment to think that what happened happened the way it did because it was meant to happen? Nature’s way is simple – it is us, our desires, that make it complicated. But then, without desires, what defines us then?

When you are prepared to discard your desires, you are prepared to discard the self-image that everyone sees. You then stop being you; there are no worries about what happened or what didn’t. You no longer care about it, because now you know what happened happened. After all, that is what was meant to happen.

The real question is, can you discard your desires willingly, knowing you will also lose your self-imprint as well? Knowing that you shall no longer be you?
