AS we walked through life, there are alot of things that we want even when we already have.

When you drive a lancer, you want a Golf GTi
When you have a Zen Vision M, you want a Ipod touch
When you have Samsung, you want a better Samsung
When you have a 5 room flat, you want a condo
When you have a 32 inch LCD tv, you want a 40 inch HD tv
When you have a Renoma wallet, you want a braun buffel
When you have a Nalgene bottle, you want a Nike bottle
When you have Thinkpad X60, you want a Macbook Pro
When you have a Guess sweater, you want a Ted Baker sweater
When you have $3.50 steak, you want a Lawry's meal
When you have Diesel watch, you want a Tag Heuer
When you have a Canon Ixus 5, you want a Canon Ixus 950
When you have Timbaku bag, you want a Crumbler
When you have an Ikea table, you want a Minnoti desk
When you have a 60cents Kopi O, you want a Spinelli's today's brew
When you have home baked cookies, you want subway cookies
When you have home made breakfast, you want Mac's
When you have black hair, you want to dye them yellow
When you have friends, you want to be alone
When you are alone, you want to have friends
When you have 80cents Dily's curry puff, you want Old Chang Kee Curry puff
When you have 50 dollars in your wallet, you want 100
When you have happiness, you want fulfillment
When you have warmth, you want satisfaction
When you have one, you want another.

There are plenty of wants. But along with it, there are plenty of haves as well.

Is it wrong to want when you already have? Or is it wrong to have and still want more?

How do we really reconcile all these in life? When you have, yet when you see something DEEMED as better, you want the other one.

Do we ever realise that to want, at the end, is to have, and to have, is to want more?

Even as we realise the want and have, there are some things that we have and we cannot want more.

We have hatred.
We have jealousy.
We have anger.
We have disappointment.
We have thirst.
We have frustration.
We have tiredness.
We have illness.
We have wrongs.
We have sins.

Do you want more of them?

Because if you do, they are already yours to grab without any cost.

Don't we human realise that better doesn't mean suitable?

If you want better parents, you mean they are more suitable?
If you want better siblings, you mean they are more care-able?
If you want better girlfriend/boyfriend, you mean they are more lovable?
If you want better friends, you mean they are more acceptable?

Suitable doesn't mean better.

There is no ways to the means of comparison, just like there is no means to the ways of comparison. In the end, what's yours is your. What is not yours, is not suitable for you.

Be glad that others have what you want, because its suits them.
Be glad that others want what you have, because they have what suits them as well.
Be glad that you have, because otherwise, you haven't.

Let it go, sit back, and watch the world goes round.

Because what you have today, might be gone tomorrow.

There's when you ask yourself,

am i glad that i at least have it?

or

if only.

mr jen can only look up, understand what it takes, accept the truth in life, yet still wallow in his own sorrows whenhe knows that it is just chasing the wind, ends up in nothing. absolutely nothing.
