Cravings, Desires, Fascination

You're always going to want what you don't have, right? And what do you crave? Well, it's kind of a self-fulfilling problem...a craving is something that as soon as you get, you won't want anymore. Because that's what a craving *is*. Something you don't have, something you want...something you desire desperately with your entire being until you have it. And then you move on to the next thing that you crave, because that's just how people are.

And that's kind of depressing to think about, because it would be so much more enjoyable for life, if you could go through it not craving things, but by choosing what you were fascinated by, and enjoying them. To look at things, and instead of craving them, to just become enraptured by them, and to love them, and focus on each part of the thing or person that you find interesting for their own merits.

If we stopped to smell the roses, so to speak, and really look at what we had around us, instead of just craving momentarily what we wanted, we would appreciated things and people more, instead of getting bored with everything about our lives, all the time.

Our disposable society that we've created, and the broken homes that are resulting from it is very sad, and I'm glad I had to stop, and consciously look around myself to see what I have, what I see, instead of just what I momentarily want...what I craved.
