Trying to Maintain Faith in Reason

Why is it that humanity is always searching for better? Wanting more?

When we do get something we want, we are satisfied for a moment, and then we want something else. We never seem to be grateful to have what we do have in our lives. It seems to be the curse of our species.

There has to be a purpose for it though. Perhaps it is what gives us the drive to keep living. Wanting something gives us something to work for, which would be why, once you get it, you have to start wanting something else.

But it is also quite annoying to so rarely have that super pleasant feeling of satisfaction. Instead you are filled with constant anxiety over whatever it is that you want! And sometimes, what you unintentionally narrowed in on isn’t even something you want to want, or could even get.

Maybe we unintentionally find ourselves wanting what we don’t want to want, or can’t have because there is a higher force in the universe trying to tell us something. Or maybe it is because it will keep us motivated to keep living longer, even though we know we can never have whatever it is, we let ourselves be filled with hope that maybe we are wrong.

I keep trying to believe that everything happens for a reason, and Fate is behind all the workings, good and bad. But I sometimes do not understand the motivation behind what Fate does. I am sure there is a reason for everything, but sometimes I would just like to know what that is? The reason that I can’t have some of the things I want, even if I know I’ll never be able to keep them for forever.
