Wants?! Look at theirs..
According to Economics, wants of a human are unlimited, and, i totally agree. They are endless and infinite to count. One want comes after another. And these wants are to be satisfied to live a happy life. But, all the wants cannot be satisfied. And i am sure sadness is directly proportional to the number of wants not satisfied.
Today, waiting for my friend, i saw a flower-seller selling stringed flowers by the roadside. Her shop included a mat, a few polythene covers and 2-3 types of flowers. Today was the first time i saw someone buying flowers from her. I felt like one of her wants came true. Well, again, i can't say for sure. And there i saw a familiar face. I do not know her name nor who she actually is. I just see her almost everyday. Poor, though, she was, she dressed decently and preferred to work rather than beg. She did have a husband. He too was a familiar face in the area. I do not know what became of him, he is not seen nowadays. Anyway, i think i did see sorrow in her face, or jealousy seeing others buying flowers, or, it was a want for flowers. She looked desperately at the flowers.
Well, it was a scene that makes someone realise how widespread, wants are. They act on every person alive. People with lesser wealth will surely have greater wants and will be in greater despair. For her, flowers, which are a relatively small want with people with wealth, are a greater want maybe. Well, wealthy or poor, wants act on everyone. And wants of the less affluent are small to us, but great to them..
