इच्छाएं कभी मरती नहीं,
किंतु एक निश्चित समय के बाद,
उन्हें पूरा करने की इच्छा
जरूर मर जाती है,
येन केन प्रकारेण…
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
Desires never die,
but after a certain time,
the desire to fulfill them
definitely dies,
for some reason or the other…

So true. Is it increased wisdom or decreased energy?

Judging by the picture, Kaushal, you mean when one is elderly; otherwise the passion within will keep us switched on.

Thank you, Joanna, for your interesting comment! Even young ones may have to give in due to pressure from spouse or family. And a person without passion gets old. It’s also a fact.

You are welcome, and I don’t think, either you or I are in danger of loosing passion in life!

I would like to think that the desire /sense of newness of trying new things is always alive, as are we.

Well said. Either with age people becomes wise or have lost the energy to fight. Bitter but true.

Thank you! I have an uncle who had a strong desire to go for Himalayan trekking, but looking to his wife’s medical conditions, he has shelved the idea altogether. So the reason may be any damn thing.
