It’s better to want something you don’t have than to have something you don’t want.

 

I think it’s a good philosophy, really. In every aspect of life. Think about it, it’s probably true in your case too.

 

1. Dating

The guy in your department that send shivers down your spine when you see him, but he doesn’t see you? The girl next door that you’ve had a crush on since you were 5 but she thinks “any girl would be lucky to have you”, just not her?

 

And then think of the times when you had men wanting you desperately, or when the girl was literally at your feet and following you around like a good little puppy. And then imagine what life will be like if you had settled, and gotten into a relationship with that person.

 

Now which feeling sux more? First or second? All my votes go for the second. Settling is never fun. Not getting something you want, well, you can just find other things (read: men) to want :p

 

2. Job

This is a lil harder to substantiate, but I’m gonna go ahead and whack only.

 

I think being in a job that you like gives you a whole lot more motivation to do better.. Although almost invariably you’d be restless for more.. A higher pay, a better promotion, a nicer boss…

 

And then there’s the case of being stuck in a job you hate. Man if that was the case for me I’d be suicidal every single day of my life. Waking up each day would be a drag, and I would be counting the seconds til it was 530 and I could leave.

 

So yeah.. in that case I’m quite ok… I want my job enough to like it, but in the same breath I want so much more from it.. More excitement, higher pay, bla bla blaa.. It’s a good place to be in when you consider the alternative.

 

3. Life

See at this point I think everyone is beginning to get the concept of what I am saying. Everyone wants more in life, that’s an OK way to go through life, makes you be a better person mostly. But the day you hate your life, and wish it wasn’t yours, I think it’s time to seriously work out an action plan to change it. Because living a life in a way that you don’t want to can possibly be the most depressing thing on earth (except if the world ran out of coffee- then it’ll be the second most depressing thing on earth after coffee extinction being first)

 

I think I’m gona go chant the topic over and over again just for fun :)
