Contentment
- The bus I was waiting for came at the exact moment I left school -- no more waiting for half an hour or so
- Twenty bonus points (which I badly needed) given by our professor that would pull my grade up
- A gentle breeze on a 1000F day
- An offline message from a friend or a sibling when your day wasn't that good
- An email from the library telling you that the book you reserved is now available
- A good weighing scale that actually tells you that you've lost a pound (hehe)
- Seeing flowers in full bloom... haay ganda
- Eating a Taco Bell Chalupa
Isn't it just human nature to desire, to dream of things we don't have? I used to think that I could only have what was offered to me, that asking too much is wrong and considered a sin. But if someday, when all you've hoped for came through, what then? Would you be content and stop living life just because you've "reached your goals?" Wouldn't it be better if you make a hundred more and do something to attain them? Doesn't that sound more enticing than suddenly giving up on life once you have what you wanted? I refuse to be content... for now at least.

It's in man's nature to desire. As Shakespeare puts it, "With what I most enjoy contented least..." Everything indeed is a cycle. Nobody gets contented. When one gets what he wants, he wants more of what he gets still.
glad someone understands heehee
It's never a bad thing to aspire for more =) unless looking for more takes up too much of your energy and you fail to appreciate what's there now.
