Just when our lives are good, we find fault in it and not see nor appreciate how good it is. We chase for something, an idea in our mind, our desires, something lacking. Once we pursue it, we realized bad things go with it. And then new set of problems crop up. We are very good at imagining lala land. Or if I only, but once we get it, it's so sad that we are still not happy. Well, it's just a theory. But does it have some practical truth to it?

It matches the old saying that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. We focus on what is just out of reach and we do not see the entire picture.

We forget that there are trade-offs.

It is true which is why I no longer seek things of this world. I only seek spiritual things now, my Father in Heaven is the key to happiness. =)

Yes I think so. Sometimes, we don`t realize that we have all the good things already not until we lost it and realize that why we didn`t gave so much importance or be satisfied with it

I'm thinking of a working holiday for me to catch up on work. I've been slacking off a lot. We'll see.
