There are very few things that amaze me more than our changing perceptions of what we want from life. One minute, we want something .... the next, we get it ..... a moment after that, we are happy ... and the next, we are back to the soup-table asking "Sir, can I have some more?".
And it doesn't end there ... even when we are asking for that 'something more', we (or at least I) am mostly wondering "Do I really want this?" ... Asking questions is never bad, or so I believe ... but in this case, I cant help but feel that I am asking this question because of the wrong reasons ... I am not asking from the point of view of "As in, do I really need this?"; rather I am thinking "Can I get something better?" There's something wrong with that maybe, but I'm not sure what exactly ...
Be that as it may, we still go on ... like some futuristic guinea-pigs in an Aldous Huxley novel - ourselves the subjects (victims?) of the new experiments that we conjure up to torment ourselves ... knowing this, but thinking "Can't I think of something better?" ..... Scary ......
