Why do we always want what we can’t have?
I have been thinking (probably not a good thing, may mean I have too much time on my hands, but anyway). I have been wondering what it is about the human condition, we are always wanting more, ever sure that the grass must be greener over there. Like an annoying itch that no matter how much you scratch it is only dulled to a distant longing, never really disappears.
And the more unattainable or elusive, the more attractive it is. I wonder why.
Don’t get me wrong I can really enjoy the here and now (and between us I am having a ball right now) but it makes me wonder, what is this tingly sensation, is it longing or unfulfilled desire?
Maybe it is really about impatience, about wanting more and being anxious to get started, being the Speedy Gonzales I am life just goes too frickin’ slow.
I need to learn that slower is not necessarily a bad thing, taking the time to really taste, smell and feel will not rob me of experiences, but be an experience of its own.
But honestly, it sounds like a load of wishy washy crap to me.
And in the moment, that moment of insecurity of desire of longing for whatever it may be new challenges at work, new opportunities or even love, it is hard to take that time – me, I want to get to the GOOD stuff, the stuff that follows those moments, the next moment around the corner.
Sitting on the edge of my seat, feet tapping, heart pounding, brain screaming – bring it ON!
