Which is a Fool’s Paradise?


Which is a Fool’s Paradise?

A world of their own
Where love is everything,
Nothing is more important
Not security, nor future
Nor prestige, nor power…. 
Floating in love
Living for love

They are told
“It is not practical
Reality of life is different!”
And
In practical world
One keeps on working for security
Yet feels insecure…….
 Keeps running after power
 Yet always short of it!!

Called mad by their clan
Jonathan Livingston seagull or
Meerabai or …….

OSI Prompt :  A fool's paradise

Sometimes you've got to forget the practical. Great words.

We all need to live someplace between A Fool's Paradise and Harsh Reality.

I liked it...let me quote what the creator of Jonathan Livingston Seagull had to say in Illusions:

Laughing on the way to your execution is not generally understood by less- advanced life-forms, and they'll call you crazy..

LALF generally live in their fool's paradise and think others to be living there... well the debate shall stay forever..
