We’ve all wanted something in our lives that it seemed we couldn’t have. But then something happens and you actually get what you wanted. One of two things usually happens in a case like that.
1) You get what you wanted and then you find out that you don’t really like it as much as you think you would have. And you think how silly it was for you to have wanted it so bad in the first place.
2) You get what you wanted and you really like it, and now you aren’t satisfied because you want more. (Either something better or more of the same thing if it is something that is temporary or consumed)
When I was little I wanted a cat. I wanted and wanted and wanted a cat.. and when I finally got a cat, I realized I didn’t really like cats so much (Cats didn’t like me either). Another time I wanted a robot. I got that robot, and right afterword a much better robot came out, and I wanted it instead. Another time I wanted a certain video game console and video game, and the game was so much fun that I wanted more games.
It goes on and on.. Kids eat cookies and love them and want MORE. You drive fast in your car and enjoy the rush so you do it more often or even faster next time, Maybe you even go out and buy a faster car because the old one wasn’t cutting it. Whatever those things are for each person.. thats’s always the way it goes.
That’s life, people want to people happy, and we want things that we think will make us happy, if they make us happy then we want more of it. Or sometimes we find out we were wrong and what we thought would make us happy didn’t.
Well, I’ve wanted something for a while.. and I never thought I could have it. I finally got it.. and it made me happy, and I want more. I like it when I think something will make me happy and I get it and I was right, but what I don’t like is when I find that out and then I can’t get more. Thats the catch. Sometimes you get what you wanted and you find out it really makes you as happy as you thought it might, but then… You can’t have anymore.
What do you do if that happens? Whats the answer? Were you better off not ever knowing how good it would have been to get that thing you wanted that you thought you might never get? Or is it better to have at least experienced it once even if you never can again.. and you are just left wanting more? I’m not sure what the answer to that question is. I think I would have to go with the former, that it is better to have at least experienced it. Because that is what life is about.. experiences.
Not a very good blog this time around, but I just felt the need to write about what is on my mind. I find it helps, so I do it.
