I was pondering this morning about our desire for more- more than we have, often more than we need. It seems ultimately that we want to enjoy our time, and to do so we need to free it up. Society has sold us on the idea that we need things to play with in our free time to be able to enjoy that free time so we funnel our energies, and more importantly, our time, into the drive to make more money so we can buy things to help us enjoy our time, which we now have less of because we're working more, and harder, to accumulate money to buy those things to help us enjoy our free time, which is lessened by our work load and the subsequent burnout that follows, from which we must use more time to recuperate to be able to fully enjoy our time. So I think, in an abstract way, I've figured out this drive for more: What is is more than what was but less than what could be so we find dissatisfaction with what is for the sake of the could be though the was was abundant to meet our needs. There was time with was, less time with is, and far less in the pursuit of the could be. Food for thought...
