From the Street Dogs

I don't know how many of us have really observed the life of a street dog. In fact it might have never crossed anybody's mind that there is anything worth noticing in a dog's life, that also a dog from the street.

But just a few days back I observed a strange things in street dogs. They always follow or run after anything moving fast like a car, bike or any other vehicle preferably a brilliant colour. A group of dogs will follow these vehicles specially in the nights. Some of us might have noticed this thing but did we ever gave it a thought to what happens after they get the vehicle. I saw that they will start following a new one after another, that's it.They don't know what to do with it once they get it.

It reminded me of human being having the same habit or nature. All of them are running after fast moving and bright things, but once they get it they don't know what to do with it and there starts a new race for another one which they don't have or which they think as better.

This is quite an irony most of them live with. You can name it materialism or whatever you want but in the end it is all going to be of no use. In the long run we realise that getting more leads to get much more and its such a spiral track that we loose sight of what we've and run after which is ahead of us. All these things don't bring a kind of satisfaction in life,instead it makes us more thirsty. Life becomes a race to get the things and running more and more.

People don't realise what they are loosing and that they are missing to enjoy the fruits of their efforts just because of running after another one.

I don't know what to say to all these people who are blindly following anything that comes into that way, but I'll like to add this point for sure that life is much more than achievements and competition and anything that makes us to compare ourselves with others. We should be a more of us than being a winner of a worthless race, because in the end it doesn't count what you earned what counts is what you enjoyed.
