I believe that what makes us human is our insatiable nature. You can be a happy person for one day and then for the next, you feel as if you want something more. You are already content with what you have, but now you feel that there’s something else out there that could make you happier.
Why is that? Why are so many of us so tied into that thought? I don’t mean to say that we’re always looking for something better. You could be just perfectly content and happy for the time being, but then little by little, you notice that you could be happier if this or if that.
I don’t mean to say that you’re unhappy either. You can still be happy but want something more. Does that make sense? It’s like having that perfect ice cream cone and the only thing missing to make it extra special are sprinkles. It doesn’t lessen the joy you already have, but you know that if you had sprinkles, then it’d be perfect. But you’re still happy that it’s a great ice cream cone.
Do you think that there’s going to be someone who’s already gotten everything s/he’s wanted and there is nothing else? Or is that just death? To know that it’s the end and that when you’ve finally gotten what you want, then you can die? But that’s another topic entirely.
How do you cure the insatiable human?
