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 :)

    i have to agree with your statement. but as for me right now…. its kinda equal. i do have things that i do not need but its here with me, and i always wished i had things that i do not have and that someday that thing might just end up being things that i do not need :)

    hahahah lyn!!! giller laaa… u comment like IMMIDIETLY after my posts! (visions of you clicking on my blog every 2 mins to check stats heheheheheh). tqs tqs..

    but the point i wanted to make was not about things that you do not need, more like things you do not WANT. 2 very different things to me..

    for now (e.g) having a husband is smtg i do not need, but having an abusive husband is definitely something i dont want.

    aghh. my debating skills seem to get worse hehehehehehe
