From my experiences in life thus far I have concluded that one can never be satisfied with something for very long. In the end everything that we've worked for, be it results, money or even that special someone, will never be enough to satisfy our need for something more. More often than not we always find ourselves, wandering around in circles continuously thinking of how things could be better for us. Today we start of as individuals with nothing, tomorrow we have a degree, the next a masters, and then a PhD. Or if we start with $10,000 in our bank, we want to see that grow. Money is infinite, so our limits and our desires are endless.
This is most disturbing as humanity does not even realize that it is trapped inside this circle of death. This cycle is so apparent in almost everyone I meet, where today's treasured items are tomorrows latest addition to the junk pile. Will we ever be content?
We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.
The words of Frederick Keonig, a German inventor. I think this is absolutely true. If we stop wishing for something we don't have a start enjoying what we do, perhaps this world could be a much better place.
