You know those times when we get something and we keep hoping to get just a little bit more? A second helping of that scrumptious chocolate cake, a few more fries with your burger after dancing the night away or just one more sip of your smoothie on a hot summer day, (I love food, hence the food references). To win a little more at a casino or one more kiss goodnight, the list is endless.
So why is it that we want a little more? I think that sometimes people are in search of something to complete their lives. It’s like when Tom Cruise in the movie Jerry Maguire says I love you. You complete me, to which Renée Zellweger replies Shut up ... just shut up. You had me at hello. It sounds all so romantic, but it is a movie after all. In real life deep down we don’t really want to be fully complete or finished with things, coz if everything is perfect and done what more is left in life!
From the time we are kids we always want more like more toys, on being teenagers we want to be thinner (negative celebrity influences), adult hood warrants a successful career and a marriage. Then maybe kids, bigger house, more cars, time with the family, kids grow older, then we need time away from them, as we grow old we want to be young again only to do thing all over again. Is there a point to all this? I am not sure but maybe there is, this is how humans are designed. Our lives go by and sometimes we have regrets on why we did not do things while we had the chance.
So here is something to sleep on, if you want more get more (alcohol, drugs and bad things aside), don’t wait around. You are at a buffet and that line near the cocktail shrimps is not going to get shorter, does it mean you should skip on them? Or just be patient and wait in line, if you're smart enough you would get there early and enjoy before the crowd shows up.
