Searching

The happiness we plan on achieving never finds us. Once we find what we want we're never happy. When we achieve our goals we want more. Sometimes right before we're about to achieve that which we've fought so hard for we realize we don't want it anymore. That's how life works. People say "If only I had ____, I'd be happy." The fact is, people don't really know what they want until they're about to lose it or they finally do. People want more but they want a guarantee that they won't lose what they've got. I'm slowly coming to terms with the way things really work. You never really get what you want without having to sacrifice something else. That's why those who have everything they can buy are so unhappy. They have everything but the intangible things that really will bring them happiness. The universe has a way of working itself out. It has its own system of checks and balances. Most people know it, but they haven't realized it yet.

That's all for now.
