whether we like it or not. although most of the time we forget to appreciate the things we have and we take granted. health, companionship, love, time.

i don’t know what makes humans as ungrateful as we are. i wonder if there is an end to it? did you ever felt like a hamster in a wheel? chasing things, endlessly. how you ever felt the excitement of it. the lust of the potential reward that you imagined.

although that ends.

we start to become accustomed to the environment. excitement fades away slowly but surely. then we search for another wheel to jump in.

these days i wonder what if we stop. can’t we find peace in it? can’t i just appreciate what i already have?

what is this i’m craving?

having things to be grateful for doesn’t mean you feel that way. i guess it’s specific to our species.
