Just wondering if there’s any connect between the three!
I think there really exists an intimate relation- one which ignore for the most part due to feigned busy-ness. The seed of desire (which remains mostly unfulfilled) makes the stuff of dreams. A certain wish-fulfillment happens when we dream about our dreams and professed/unprofessed fantasies and ambitions. So there is a connect between Desire and Dreams.
Now let’s turn to time or TIME. Do you think we can detect its relation to Desire. Well, upon much scratching, it is easy to understand that every desire creates a space. This space is filled in by time when we put in efforts and energies to actually obtain our desires. So we think in terms of Time, or Durations or Moments. We split Time into convenient chunks- say an hour, or quarter or 24 hours for our own convenience.
Time in itself never comes in bits and pieces and is always a whole. It is available only as a single Moment. We can call that moment as the Present. It is only when we divide time to achieve a goal that it takes on the categories of Past or Future (if it is yet to come).
So the source is Desire that summons a space that is in turn filled in by Time. Any obstacles in achievement of desired goals leads to frustrations anger and doubts that saps the only available thing to us: the PRESENT. These obstacles in the path of goals try to find fulfillment in our dreams state as completed object or as stress in the Present. So there’s a clear connection between Desire, Dreams, and Time.
I am sure all of us have experienced such states however, not knowing/pondering the exact connection between these three life stealers. Yeah, I got it right!
Feel free to add on your own opinions or observations on this very important conundrum called Life and the way we spend it.
