Ha!

PRock, here's your answer...you either get something you want to look at or you get the f over it and get busy! That whole 'I feel sorry for me' crap is nothing less than destructive. Sure, we all have a weak moment or two when we look around and say 'damn, something is missing'. The reality is what we usually think we're missing is not really the issue. All too often the stir within us for something more usually gets blamed on two things: money and lust. See, usually when we feel unfulfilled we think it must be because we're struggling from pay check to pay check or because we just wish we could afford this or wish we could get that or travel there and live like those that we now watch on our local news. Yes, because celebrities and their relationships (or lack thereof) are now the headlines for our local news. This brings me to relationships or the lust for companionship. See, if we're making decent money and aren't necessarily struggling, then the discomfort we feel is immediately associated with a vacancy of the heart. This feeling we feel has to be because we need a companion...but then you have a companion and you still don't feel content...so then you move on to another or perhaps you decide its time to get to the next level. That next level could either be marriage or simply parenthood. The point is, its a cycle because we continue to chase a ghost. We can't see what it is that gives us this feeling of uneasiness and many of us dont usually dig deep enough because we don't think to or we just don't want to. So, we select one of two things to chase or long for: money and lust.
