Chasing a Mirage

Have you ever dreamed hopelessly about something, knowing that it may never become real? Or, have you dreamed and convinced yourself that it would turn into reality, even if thoughtful reasoning would lead you to believe otherwise? Have you ever chased a mirage?

Why is it that human beings do such unreasonable things? Why do we like bumping into the same brick wall time and time again, knowing that the wall will not budge? Or, is it just those of us who are hopeless dreamers that act on instinct and not reason?

Have you ever been drawn to someone knowing that they may never like you back? Have you tried hopelessly to make them like you, knowing that it may very well get you nowhere? Or maybe, just maybe, it is the sheer pleasure of being in that person's company and enjoying those few temporary moments that cause you to act that way. To not care, if the other person likes you back or not, but to just be satisfied with the feeling of being in their company. To hear them talk. To see them smile. To be amazed by their very presence. And just live in the moment. Even if in the long run, it turns out to be a bitter sweet moment. But at least, it is sweet while it lasts.

The power of one's emotions can be highly incomprehensible at times.
