Unpunished Crimes

Welcome back everyone!

Is it illegal to have desires? By chance if having desires are crimes,what would be the small to big crimes we would have all possibly come across?

In that case,my first ever crime was to have a 'Milton water bottle' since I was taking water in used and washed plastic PEPSI/COKE bottle during my school days. Whoever holds that Milton bottle in those days were tagged as elite class people.

My first 'oh my God' moment was when I overheard my class mates talking about the 'color TV' one of my rich friends had got in his house. After coming back to home,I asked my Mommy about this color TV to which she told me that it would show everything in color instead of black and White like ours and also she added that it was not affordable for us even before I was asking, "Why shouldn't we buy it?"

Fast forwarding to the era of MTB bicycles.I used to go to school by a Captain cycle without bar while many of my friends were coming to school by MTB cycles which was modern and way different from usual ones especially in having stylish hand bars. But back then I was quite satisfied and happy with that Captain cycle when I saw some of my schoolmates had to walk all the way from their homes.

A very special crime (desire) that everyone one of us would've had it in our childhood days was getting into the world of video games. Even though it wasn't affordable, thanks to game centers for renting it 5 to 10 rupees per hour. I had a huge crush on PlayStation.Recently PS 5 has been introduced in the market but still it's unaffordable because we should realize "CRUSH IS ALWAYS UNREACHABLE"

These are very few desires I could remember but I'm sure I had many. Some desires were fulfilled and most of them went volatile.

From child to grown up even in the death bed we all have desires but the real question is do we deserve to have it? As a child we wish to have everything we like.Some wishes may come true but some may not.

Gifted were the parents having kids who could understand the meaning of 'unaffordable' even before they were taught. Sadness is we don't even remember what our  desires were when the days go by.

At one point we realize that we should work hard enough for our kids who will start to have their own unaffordable wishes but not sure if we are gifted like our parents.

Now tell me, Is it illegal to have desires? 

Yes, if we are from the middle class.
