explaining it in metaphor

Life is uncertain.. Life is complex....
Mind is even more complex..
Our mind is originally free.. but we create the habit of putting something inside it from childhood.. then in some years, mind can't remain free. it always requires something inside it. dreamers see some dream which is unachievable and their mind remain permanently busy in it. Some people think of helping others or changing the society and their mind always remain busy in it. Some people get passionated by some goal and by motivation to prove themselves and their mind remain busy.. Some just get dissolve in love and become permanently engaged.
But process is not that simple. With each engagement activity of mind, their come the byproducts. With dream comes the hope for reality, with goal comes the greediness, with service comes the ego and with love comes the expectations. And as we don't fulfill these byproducts we start feeling sad about it. It creates the pain in our life.
Thus it is important to understand that it is mind who wanted entertainment , that is why it got engaged. But now byproducts of these engagements are creating trouble which were never intentional. Thus we should actually enjoy the movie that mind is screening rather than getting into the pain for not fulfilling these byproducts . Secondly these engagements are always substitutable .. Goal can be replace by other goal , dream by other dream and love by some other love.. It is like changing the movie in cinema hall..
Free mind is ideal state. Busy mind is natural state. Pain from not fulfilling the expectations created from byproducts is artificial state. Each human being should destroy the artificial state, and should start the journey towards ideal state from natural state.
