Talking to my cat

Life's tough - you don't usually get what you want. And if you do get it, you usually no longer want it.

maybe, you just didn't want it bad enough in the first place.

you sound like a wise kung-fu master. like that really old little yoda-like guy in Kung-Fu Panda :)

i was just reflecting on the difficulty of finding happiness. here's an example - most people don't have money. so they think that if they had money they would be happy. but if they get money, they realize that they are still not happy. So it's not that they don't want the money, they were just mistaken in associating fulfillment of that particular want with attainment of happiness.

Quote from our fridge:

Когда есть много денег, как-то легче переносится то что не в них счастье.

yeah, that's true. although i didn't think of money when i was talking to Kesha in the first place, just used it as example.
