I wonder to what degree we appreciate what we have, the basics we have been granted, before looking for the next thing we believe we need in order to feel satisfied. Actually, are we ever really satisfied? Think for a moment of something you wanted badly. Then you got it. What then? For how long were you happy with it? How long did your gratitude last? Did you truly feel any gratitude at all?
It seems that nowadays having our real needs met is not sufficient to make us relax and enjoy life. We are constantly led to feel dissatisfied, to nurse the desire for more, always more, to wish to reach what seems to be always beyond our grasp. Why? Because a new "basic need" is being instilled in us daily, i.e. the need to overlook what is in front of us in order to cherish a mirage that will never become a reality. How sad. What a waste of time. What a waste of life.
