Through the looking window

Through the looking window, into the open world. A vista that connects our eyes into a world of hopes and opportunities. Our desires are infinite but the world is finite. Our eyes can only see what it is able to see but the mind is infinite and develops a myriad of pictures. We imagine and hope we see the same in the world we witnessed through the vista. We push and push to achieve the infinite in this finite world, hoping that one day the volcano will erupt and everything will work the way we want it to. The lava of our desires will spread and turn to what we want to see and not what it is. But is that what we want?

The lava will one day cool down and become solid and then nothing can be changed and the heat of our desires will not matter anymore. We realize that how much ever we push and push nothing will change. And we exhaust ourselves. Our bodies and minds are exhausted. We remain in solitude for days and days till our minds and bodies come to rest and the sudden realization strikes us. We realize that the vista never showed us the real world. It only showed us the picture of the finite world not the infinite one. We missed out on all the real opportunities and pushed and pushed for the opportunities that never existed. And when we look at the larger picture we realize how big the universe is. The vista doesn't matter anymore all that matters is us our understanding of the world through our eyes, that finite doesn't last forever, it is only the infinite which is who we are and truly want to become eternally.
