When 'The wants' are vague 'Don't wants' become visible



       The first ever question anybody comes across upon visiting somebody's home is 'what do you like to have tea or coffee?' Perplexed by just 2 choices a person thinks 'I prefer coffee but tea would be healthy' or 'I like taste of tea but I take coffee as I am little drowsy'. Finally he/she makes a decision 'All right I go for coffee'. Once the coffee arrives, just after 2 sips he/she thinks 'Oh!! god, I thought I would love coffee but it's not instant coffee instead it is filter coffee that I don't like much'. With a simulated smile on the face a reply comes 'Oh!! god, I never had such an amazing coffee in my life' while mind warns "Never opt for a coffee in this home again".

        In the next visit to the same home, number of options boil down to just one.

Host: Would you like to have coffee??
                              
                                  A diplomatic reply goes with a grin

Guest: Oh!! I would love to but this time let me taste tea and judge which one should I go for next time.

 Life can surprise the unlucky with a statement like

Host: Oh!! sorry dude we don't have tea right now. So as you like our coffee much I think you don't mind having the same.

Guest: No problem. That's quite fine with me. (Thinks: what a miserable life)

 
       This is the way life is. We just can't perceive what we really like or most of the times they go wrong. But the best part is, a choice always leads to a conclusion either like/dislike. All one can do is make a choice and keep the choice in one of the two categories like/dislike.  

I made a couple of choices in my life that guided me to wants and don't wants as below.

Don't wants:
  1. To be a President/CEO of a company, sitting in an AC glass chamber, perusing a big pile of papers or skimming through system all the time.  
  2. A comfortable and peaceful life. 
  3. Let superficial stuff like place, money or materials rule my life. 
  4. A girl, beautiful but not compatible to my character.
  5. Afraid of anything including death. 
  6. Break of a promise made. 
  7. Can not live without something or someone. 
  8. Luggage that curbs my mobility. 
  9. Shoes that bite. 
Wants:
  1. A job that makes me run, roam, read and write as well as challenging or life threatening. 
  2. A busy and tiring life. 
  3. A body that never tires. 
  4. A heart that never withers. 
  5. A couple of eyes that never shed tears in any amount of pain. 
  6. A girl, inspires but not impedes (needs 100% luck).
