sometimes what we don't have is what we always long or look for. but when we have it already, we would long for other things. but i hope that we can always get what we desire in life. it is sad that when we want to get some thing but still we can not get them. hopefully i would get my desires of my heart and have them for good.

There was a song one time about happiness is wanting what you have not needing what you don't. Something like that. Sometimes I want something and deside with a little imagination and skill, I can make what I want. Like I needed a pot scrubber. I had netted bags that fruit and veggies were in. So I made a pot scrubber from them. Sometimes we need to take a fresh look at what we have with an imagination or an artistic eye.

Well, to look for things one don't have is the cause of unhappiness, i think. Though sometimes look for things we don't own is also a driving force for us to do better in our jobs, but it can also make some person crazy or commit crimes. I think we'd better to cherish what we have, for instance, a complete family, a stable job. There is no mistake to pursue better life, but we should never overdo it, and we should never live a life beyond the ability of our own. For instance, don't buy those things you can't afford.

Why in the world would anyone look for something when it's already his in the first place? We look for things we don't have simply because we don't have them. What we usually want to have are what we desire the most that is still not within our grasp. Nevertheless the idea has a lesson in mind. Be contented with what you have.

That is human nature. Whne we have got something, we always want more. We never see people who are lower then us, who dont have what we do to make our life easy. We always look towards people who have more then us and wish to be like them. We should thanks God for what he has given to us.
