       We all have wants and desires for things, whether those things are big or small. When we have the desire for something, there can be that temptation to try to force it to be done, or to come to pass. So, the original want actually begets a want for whatever is to get done. So, now, we have two wants. The want for the original thing, and that want that that original thing is accomplished in a timely manner. No one likes to wait. Just a careful evaluation of people in traffic shows us that. The whole point I am making is that we just need to be aware of that in trying to force an outcome. When we try to force an outcome, bad things can happen. One of those things is that we will end up getting what we want. Why is this bad? Well, because sometimes when we get something, we realize that it isn’t what we should have wanted. We didn’t think things properly through. We were too eager, too quick to try to get what we wanted. Now our happiness is gone. Nah, we should have taken more time. We should have thought it through. But, it’s too late, we got what we wanted and we are disappointed.
