"Our hearts are restless until they rest with God" says St. Augustine. Another way to interprete the great writer's saying would be also the insatiable needs of man. We want and want again yet we are not satisfied. Our desires keep pushing from a particular thing or stage to the next, some we achieve and others we do not.
As for me i have always sort to find fulfilment in little achievements. I know that things will always not happen my way so when they dont happen the way i planned or desired it, I learn to accept my fate and move on.
Thanks for the write up.

Desires and Obsessions
That's a very good level of contentment when you can just accept and move on. But sometimes I believe that it is also our test to strive on what we want to achieve and hence some push is required.
I totally agree with you on that....Aristotle in his Nicomeachean ethics would say all we want is happiness. At the end of the day all we want is to be truly happy and fulfilled. I gùess we stop at nothing trying to achieve this
