I’ve always wondered about this whole human life experience. We are born, have a few carefree years of childhood, a few anxious years of teenage, many stressful years of working and many blissful/cantankerous (depends on one is happily married or not) years of married/ single life and then we’re done. Heavenly gates are hopefully there to welcome us back to the realm. And in during this whole journey we go through this myriad emotions and experiences that hopefully make it all worth the effort. 

Most of us, in our lives, are focused onto doing things that will make our tomorrow better, safer, richer, happier. We work, spend the majority of our lives in closed spaces trying to make enough money to buy the things we think will make us happy today and to save for the things we will need in the future. It just feels like this endless cycle of want, save, buy and then want something more expensive/better, save more, buy more… and on and on.

There is never any satisfaction with the way things are. It is a fundamental human need to forever strive for more. That really is why the human race has reached the pinnacle it has today ( I mean pinnacle in evolutionary and technological sense, not a moral or philosophical sense)… so this endless want for more is a good thing right? Then why does this very thing make the average human experience seem so futile? If we had the ability to live for today, then each day would be rich, full and not a day spent in doing things in preparation for a hopefully better tomorrow.
