Always wanting for more

It seems that contentment is so hard to achieve as life appears to be like a never ending cycle of oddities. As man go on with the journey of life, never would he, by all means, admit that life is full or perfect. If this statement is disagreeable, then those who do not concur have literally stopped growing. At times, life may seem so wonderful but the following days or weeks, it may suddenly seem dull and archaic. When it comes to a point of extreme boredom then people tend to find ways on how to amuse themselves and fill their lives with entertainment. This is oftentimes bringing in the illusion of how happy a person can be but only temporary because change is constant and something we have to consequently accept.
As Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs may have put it, people are people and human nature still comes out in the open. Our needs are known ever since we were born and are clear as daylight. If we are clueless about this then I don’t think someone else should come to us and give us a lecture of what our needs are because it’s all instinct. However, Maslow just showed an illustration to further study needs of human beings in terms of their priorities, status and way of life.
Life however we put it, still the fact remains: there is always need for something more. Because everyday we don’t eat the same food, we don’t use the same clothes, we don’t buy the same stuff, we don’t read the same book, we don’t watch the same television show and we just don’t stay the same. We always want something different, something fresh, something we haven’t seen before – something more.
Then here comes the birth of expectations. Once satisfied, people tend to climb another step upward the pyramid and this sometimes may be the cause of a lot of incongruity. A person is totally different from another and one’s satisfaction may vary and would not be directly proportional to the other people around him. The total irony is when complications start to come in, only a few are willing to compromise. Isn’t it too obvious in our world today?
Every single day, there is just a growing need to be fulfilled and demanded to be given full attention. Notice that there is always an increase in number of people who still striving and looking for a better source of living? There are those who seek for improvement in their way of life. Your spouse is demanding, Parents are demanding, children are demanding, School is demanding, the workplace is demanding and in all honesty, everyone can get too demanding sometimes.
The key is coping up and accepting things as they are. It’s so hard to move forward from a particular stressful and painful situation when a lot of things are required from us. They may be a lot of difficulties but life has to go on and on with its cycle. If you find yourselves wanting and craving, then there’s really no need to panic because it’s quite normal. Of course there are still certain limitations. We can’t always have one’s cake and eat it too.
As perfection might be too arduous to achieve, somehow it’s important to learn how to take things slow and easy. It’s already perceived that we can’t please everybody. It’s a fact of life. Maybe it’s good to put into consideration a little faux pas but again, not too overdone for it might be a cause of misunderstanding. Again, we may find ourselves very sad and unsatisfied but let’s not overdo it. We may never like what we have today. But then again, maybe it’s way better than what we could have tomorrow. So everything is just right. Take it easy and enjoy life.
