It isn't easy to figure out the Where, How, When, Who and Why of life. It's been called a crazy road, one blind turn after the other ; a glued together book, when only one page is magically revealed at a time ; recently a box of chocolates, where you don't know which one you will get. Many of us spend precious hours trying to make sense of it all. Struggle to find a pattern to the chaos. We push so hard against reality, trying to unlock our dreams, hopes, expectations that are hidden just behind this unjustly put titanium safe.
But.. there lies the catch..
A tiny bit of us wants this safe to never be unlocked.. if it is so then who will we blame, bicker about ; if we do not have the "darn safe" safeguarding our wishes, then we jolly well have to fulfill them or live upto them.
Obstacles, destiny, circumstances are comforting blankets that we snuggle into when our dreams seem too close or just within our grasp. If I reach out and my dream melts away on fruition, or worse I realize I never really wanted this, then What do I live for, How do I justify my past, When will I realize what I want, Who will I blame, Why will I hope?

what a great way to put the much talked about tendency of not owning up your life-" A tiny bit of us wants this safe to never be unlocked . " Jon Kabat Jin says " we want to avoid the responsibility of our life. We try to hold somebody else or circumstances responsible for it. " Great realisation very poetically put indeed!
