Through out our lives we chase what we feel would make us happy, would make our lives and our future comfortable. But, very few realise that the future we see through the rosy, tinted glasses of perception is only an extension of our present and in that sense merely an illusion. Our perception of happiness is nothing but what our mind makes us believe and the mind plays many a trick in creating that.

Isn't it strange that all of us when asked about what we will be in the future have only bright, optimistic and happy images to share but when asked about the immediate have contrary ideas and views. Think about it- why does our view of the immediate differ so substantially from our view of the long term? Well, the answer is simple, it lies in the details. Sadly, we often overlook the details for the general when ironically we live in the detail.
