a step towards practicality

A wish for happiness, a wish for joy, a wish for stability, a wish for success, a wish for 100 more wishes... wishes never cease, neither do dreams and hopes... The person who has everything will wish that nothing changes. The attraction that the forbidden fruit offers is like none other out there. One is human enough to wish for it and one is more of a human to not know where to stop wishing. You wish and you hope... and then pray what Coelho wrote was true, if you really want something, if you pine enough for it, the universe will give it to you... and then leave it up to others to decide whether its practical enough or not.

Its a feeling of being in control of yourself what practicality offers. Its the family, the friends, the acquaintances, the peers who judge what is right and what is wrong for you and thus try to make you more "practical" because they think they're of the same kin. I never understood how can one get so distorted. Good for those who can and even better for the enablers. What is deemed as practical is what makes one happy or at least what one make believes. Its classis mind over heart I guess. That is why practical beings are the happiest I guess. The fear of loss is nowhere to be found.

For the non-practical kin, its the total opposite. What takes one to the epitome of joy, also pulls one down to the depths of numbness. But then thats how one selects to be, and that is how one shall face the daily, with a lot of wishes, an ample amount of expectations, a handful of desires, may be a pinch of practicality here and there and a smile and/or a frown by the end of the day. To restrict, to obstruct, to use will power... to be practical... if that is how many pine to be, good for them...I don't. The battle of mind over heart or vice versa never arises... that is even if there does exists this dual medium of thinking, I personally think it doesn't.

Melodramatic and emotional beings are the ones who make the daily interesting and worthwhile... I'm proud to be another such being.
