Illusive realities

As humans we all face various levels of struggles and challenges travelling through the journey called life. But there is a magical part in our lives which we often ignore or are not cognizant about. It starts as kids when we believe in the starry fairy tales or start role playing into worlds that exist in the corner of our minds. But it doesnt end there, however serious and "professional" the adultworld may look our illusions dont change. Infact we still have illusions as a prime motivator in our thoughts. We still love to be swept away in a world that is different from the real. More so when we are adults. We watch movies or plays just to imagine ourselves as the protagonist living the life that we imagine we could live. And even if you are a billionaire life doesnt stop there, we want to cut away from the steady routine reality and breakaway into short sweet bubbles of momentary comfort.

Lets for example look at a kid who develops a liking towards geography and due to that you would see that his attention span towards geography is high.

Our minds are full of thoughts, millions of them. Some of them we realize but many are hidden deep within inside. Its more like we are not ready to look into those ideas consciously. Or to talk in software terms, we dont make them the active selection. They lye down in the background silently influencing our day to day lives. To some extent we can say our subconscious mind is like a huge ocean, its undelved untouched we see what happens on the surface, we see strong tides or even storms at times. But thoughts like fishes are moving rapidly beneath the surface. Many of these thoughts are actually brilliant ideas, ideas that our brain has created out of the millions of things we throw in our subconscious sea. But very rarely do we sit and fish for those ideas. Its only when we sit relax and fish from our conscious real world outside the deep oceanlike subconscious we realize the wealth beneath. Delving too much into the subconscious would just like a sea submerge us...and perhaps ta...
