Sometimes in our life, we love something/somebody so much but at some point in time, we will realize it is not going to be ours. This realization is a big step ahead from the day we wished/loved something. What is the remedy? I always try to think about the famous philosophical saying "Like/Love what you have got."
In our daily walk of life, every thing appears achievable - is it possible? We live in a very optimistic world where we assume things to fall in place. For few, life always is a cake walk - less efforts and formidable results. And for others, life is a tight-rope-walk - efforts are considerably high and the results are moderate. Still, we are happy and contended with what we possibly have achieved after that tough and tiring tight-rope-walk. I think this is the simple life theory! What potentially can happen is what drives us forward. But if we look back, what we possibly have achieved could be just a portion of it - but we are still contended and of course looking forward.
What is a perfect life? Good education, true friends, awesome career, understandable life-partner, a lavish house, an expensive car, wonderful kids... blah.. blah? Are you really having a perfect life? I'm sure every 6 out of 10 person will say NO. But are they not leading their life happily? I think its all about setting the expectations right! It is a trial-and-error process by which we learn every aspects of setting expectations right! As per our Indian social setup, everything should happen at pre-defined point-in-time; for example, education, job, marriage, kids and so on. I think the society has begun issuing me a Non-conformance for non-alignment of pre-defined staged-life-process. My first foreign travel happened almost after my complete six years of IT career - of course this was TOO late per standards, as already my peers made umpteen number of travels by then. Next I will achieve 3 decades of existence in 3 months from now, but still leading a happy bachelor life. According to the society, it appears a TOO late situation and can potentially introduce a gamut of complexities in my marriage & further life. What is my road ahead? I'm clueless!
Raider: I strongly believe, every person will be presented with a better or equally good opportunity/things in life to proceed. What is most important is to grab what will work for us than unnecessarily waiting for what will not happen forever. I'm sure the crucial of all is setting this particular expectation right in each one of us!

Simply super post ! I cannot agree more, and for all the reasons, I can understand and relate to every sentence in the post... Life is a cake walk for a very few, whatever might be the opposite to the cake walk, I think there are those moments of uncertainities, cluelessness and hazyness surrounded in life.. But, somehow, some way or the other, we tend to pass through the phases and come out... It could be the most rough ride; but it gets over one day... and when time moves on, we dont even realize the pain we went through before, and so, for the present moment, we are happy... Not everybody may be "truly" happy in life, but everybody tries and wants to be happy and how they can do it is only by setting expectations right and be content and happy and accepting what they are, what they have and might have...
But, its easier said than done... Thats where the funny truth about life lies... :)
