Let's say, just for fun, that you want something more than anything. Maybe it is a new camera. I can relate to that one. I remember when that Canon 20D came out. I couldn't stop thinking about the thing. I read everything I could find on it. I memorized every feature of the camera, even the things that I had no idea what they meant, just wanted to sound like I knew what I was talking about when I carried on about it to people that didn't care in the first place.
Well, I got the camera and still love it. It has proven to be a great investment in my time, and has produced some amazing photos. I mean, if I didn't have that camera I couldn't take a picture.
Now I want a new motorcycle. My last one got rubbed out on the freeway.
I also want a new Jeep.
But the real problem, I saw something the other day that has left me stunned. I think I may have a problem. Obsessing over cars, cameras, computer gadgets, is normal for me. But now it has moved into a whole new category…. Life.
I have for the longest time figured that worldly possessions would make me happy. I mean, the rest of life kind of sucks, so I figured tell I died I would just by things that interested me.
The problem now is that life has caught my interest. There is this image burned into my mind, and image of a happy moment in time, and I look for it, long for it. Can I have it, I most of the time doubt it. In fact, I have very little real hope for it, but I will chase it none the less.
So are things probably unattainable meant to be chased after? I hope so, because if not, I am really wasting my time.
