why does everything have to be so double sided?? so black and white?  I mean you could have everything you've ever wanted in the entire world but it won't be perfect all the time, there are times you will think why couldn't i have this or why isn't it like this... WHY IS THAT? why can't we just be satisfied with the imperfection that still makes us phenomenally happy?  they say it isn't good to settle, but is always striving for more at the sake of losing what you have really a good alternative? or.. should things that are truly perfect not have an imperfect side? is that possible at all when you take into account that none of us are perfect ourselves? can you have a part of your life that is truly perfect when you can't be perfect on your own? why are our expectations so high anyway? of course we want the best for ourselves but at what price? when does it all stop? when do we realize it doesn't get any better and stop analyzing?

i really shouldn't work this early in the morning without coffee and running on only five hours of sleep.... but alas i am here and this just happens to be what is on my mind at the moment and bugging the absolute nonsense out of me... i mean i know we can't understand every facet of our lives completely and there are somethings that will never change, most likely this determined strive for better is one of them, but it just makes you think... so many of us have lives that are filled with everything some people could possibly imagine and yet we are all so unhappy and still want more and more and more..... are we such a self-centered materialistic unsatisfied culture that we can't be completely happy with anything in our lives??? i don't understand... and yet i succumb to it as well :(
