On Satisfaction

We never get satisfied, do we? I have always said and believed that it is human nature to never get that certain level of satisfaction. It's not a bad thing, though. This only urges us to

1. do something even greater than what we already have,
2. to motivate ourselves to be better,
3. and to constantly move forward toward change.

Change is a constant thing in this world, after all, so the cliche goes. In my opinion, when humans fail to be contented, it usually deals with one's selfishness and personal interest. Simply, it is just the WANTS that make us ever so inconsistent.

A timely, concrete, and apt example is the fact that here in Metro Manila, we ask for something and we're given the extreme. We wish for a little bit of sun during the wet season to fight off floods and whatnot. Ugh, typhoon season, the weather is just so awful. During the summer season, we wish for the slightest cool gust to touch our faces because the sun is more than scorching. Behold, we get an El Nino instead.

The heat is unbearable. I wish I could stay in the shower all day.
