What Did I Create?

So why am I put on this earth? I am but a miniscule part of this entire universe. Here today. Gone tomorrow. Human beings were created by this divine force who we call God. I am sure he sits on a throne up there and watches over us. He probably watches in amusement at our mistakes though if there is a grave situation, he helps us too.

And he probably wonders and says to himself "What did I create?". These humans who look like ants to me (from that far) scurrying about are never ever satisfied about anything in life. They always want more. When they get more, they still want something else. They keep praying to me "Bas mujhe yeh dedo, main kuch aur nahi mangunga/mangungi". When their wish is fulfilled, they eye something else.

Why do we humans want more? Are we ever satisfied? We always strive for something more. Its like we are looking towards the sky and in search of that elusive star which will fulfill all our wishes and dreams. What would happen if we all got what we wanted. I am sure the one who created us has that power with him.

I think that he does not want that to happen. You see this world is not complicated without a reason. There is a hidden lesson for all of us to learn. Reason? Its very simple.

Senario 1:If a person 'X' wants a certain designation and so does person 'Y' at the same time. God cannot fulfill wishes of both at the same time. Thus a situation of conflict arises and one of them gets the job.

Senario 2:Person 'X' ans person 'Y' are in love with 'A' and want to be her. Then if A reciprocates feelings of one and not another, is god been unfair? Is this life unfair?

I think he wants us to learn something here-
I think he is trying to say 'If I give you what you want, you will not understand what you need. Then you will not cherish what you have. You will not be grateful that you are alive each day to see a beautiful sunrise, hear the birds chirping, see dew drops on grass, admire the clear blue sky and cotton fields of clouds. You will not cherish family and friends. because there is a life beyond a job, deadlines, irritating neighbours, hateful relatives, pesky kids, boozing all night and feeling wasted."

P.S : My heart goes out to all the people affected by the earth quake which hit Pakistan and India. Many lives were lost. Many are on the roads. Devastation was immense. I hope these people can reuild their lives and aid reaches them quickly. With winters knocking on their door, life will be tough. Love and Peace.
