That's the best we can do isn't it, just take things as they come? That doesn't stop you from wanting to prolong it, does it? Something that has been going on will cause you to develop expectations of consistency, perhaps, so much so that a change will almost always lead to disappointment. It's dread of whatever change that might come that causes people to be insecure and therefore not enjoy what they have at the present as much as they could.
