Too many of us today are still suffering or enjoying the outcomes and consequences of our upbringing. As children, we were strongly impressionable.

Most worries, concerns and troubles in our lives today basically reflect a dissonance between what we want and what we actually have.

PUNISHED BY WISHES.

A wish is simply to have a desire for something. It is a state of mind where one is emotionally expectant of a situation, a development, a possession or an experience. There is nothing wrong with having a wish, however, the realities of life makes wishes powerless and inconsequential if not vigorously pursued. A downside to the wish factors in our lives is having a strong desire for something that could actually be unattainable or even impossible. Many of us based on wishes and the strong emotions attached tend to behave and react in life based on wishes and not obvious realities. This emotional mind state consequently leads to a lot of pain, pressure and regret. Also the natural inclination of mankind to get so much for little or nothing is the empowerment of wishes. We just want things to happen with little or no effort on our part. We want to pass tough exams without reading hard, we want a fantastic spouse without being one ourselves, we want great relation...
