Are We Humans Ever Happy With Anything?

   Posted by: admin   in Home and Family

Are we humans ever happy with anything? I’m going by my own history and other humans that have shared different parts of my life span. Many times in my life I have wanted something very badly whether it was a toy, camera, a piece of clothing or whatever and then when I got it maybe I used it a couple of times and then decided I had to have something else pretty badly and wouldn’t be content until I got that also just so I could discard it too.

I have noticed this pattern in many people during my life time and have come to the conclusion that it’s more fun to anticipate than to actually possess. There are exceptions of course, like my computer which I use all the time and love and the same can be said of Bill. Not that I use him, but I certainly do love him and love to spend time with him and I can’t ever imagine wanting to discard him or getting tired of him.

I wanted my scooter pretty badly, but since I’ve mastered riding it I have decided I want a real motorcycle now so I can go faster and be a real cool Nana instead of a wuss that rides a sissy scooter. Better watch my mouth or typing rather because I’ve seen many men riding scooters and I certainly don’t want to offend them. Bill loves riding my little scooter because it’s like a toy to him after this monster.

I have gotten better with age though as far as learning to be content with what I have instead of always wanting something newer and better except for wanting the bike of course and I don’t count that. I see that as a new learning experience because I’ll have to take the test and safety course and learn how to shift gears, so there’s much for me to learn. I would love to ride the freeways with Bill and take a trip on our bikes, that would be so cool.

The answer you are searching is simply:
People try to feel their spiritual emptiness with material things.

Hi Angel,
Lol… I have always been spiritual, but I get bored easily and when I was younger I was greedy. It was actually just a rhetorical question and not meant to be taken seriously. I have a weird sense of humor.

I think your scooter is more like a personal relationship for you, rather than a material possession.

Hi Patricia,
You are very correct in your assumption. That is something I have always wanted to have a relationship with (scooter, actually motorcycle, but I have to work my way up) just like the horses only this one is iron and I love the freedom.

It’s so different from driving a car and even though I would get much more exercise on a bicycle it’s not quite the same thing nor does it take the same skill.

I have to laugh at zealous people that can account for every human foible an base it in religion and spiritual unfulfillment.

I am perfectly happy with my faith in God, but I’m in awe of all the cool stuff out there that humans dream up that I wish I had thought of and I like to see how it works.

Thank God there are no perfect humans, but there are a lot of brilliant ones. If a human is totally happy then he never strives to do better or to create and weren’t we given the power to create along side God?

Well, yes we were and so we do and sure we screw things up, but we are a magnificent species in the reality that I live in.

Hi Robert,
Laughing at you because I am going to get one and you would probably look good in a shade of green. I’ll make sure you see the photo.

You are very adventuresome! I have no interest in riding any bike, especially on a highway somewhere! LOL Good luck with your next learning experience!

Awesome post. I too have been guilty of this- wanting, wanting and when I finally get what I want, I want something else!! I have two little ones now so my priorities have definitely changed. I’m learning to be content and teaching them to do the same. Thanks for sharing :)
