Why do we idealise what we don't have and look down on what we do?
Why do we want things more, the more we can't have them?
Why do we live our lives searching for something else, instead of celebrating what we have found?
And why are our hearts complicit in this?
Because we're human. It's the only thing that keeps us alive.
If we did not want for anything, we would not know how to live.
That's why it's so hard to live with so much in your life already.
Dear heart,
Teach me how to really live.

This is true :)
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for EVERYTHING I have in my life, considering I had very little growing up.
ReplyDeleteI have NOTHING I want more of, yet I could have it if I WANTED.
The wants I have are nothing that can be bought, but instead learned and the only person who can teach me is myself.♥
Living in simplicity is my key to happiness, I hope you find yours!
GREAT POST BEN!!
