What do we really seek? (Some reflections) We’ve responsibilities. Okay, who created responsibilities? Society. Why? To keep your mind constantly occupied, chasing bills, targets, dreams that were never fully yours, all in the name of taking care of your family. You're made to believe that love is earned through sacrifice, through struggle, through providing more. You think they’ll smile more when you earn more. And maybe they do. But is that the smile you were seeking? Or is it the one that shows up even when there’s nothing to show? Because your happiness starts to feel tied not to love, but to how well you’re performing. And theirs, unknowingly, gets tied to your ability to provide. But how much is enough? Is there a finish line? A point where you get to rest and say, “Now I’ve done enough”? Depends on how many desires you and your family carry. And desires are never born from silence. They grow from noise. From constant reminders of what you lack, of what others have. From dinners, reels, festivals, promotions, housewarmings, car unveilings. Why does the social circle amplify your desires? Because in this game, your worth becomes your status. And what is status? It’s the world’s way of saying, “You matter more than them.” It’s society clapping for your highlight reel while ignoring your loneliness backstage. What do you really seek then? Superiority. But who craves that? Not your soul. Not your heart. Your ego. And is that what you truly need? No…You need love. Not performance-based love. Not reward-based love. Just love. Love that stays even when your account balance doesn’t. Love that hugs you tight even when the world turns cold. Love that doesn’t compare your worth with the man next door. You don’t need to fulfill every wish. You don’t need to win every game. You just need to be present. You just need to be loved. Because love will push you to do everything, not for approval, but because your heart overflows. Demand empties you. Love fills you.
