The Search !

The fleeting moments where you crave that little feeling, that feeling that you want to last forever. It hounds you constantly to get more of it. You try all day and hope that every morning you get it again when you open your eyes. But it doesn't come, not how you want it to come. It's a feeling that you really are addicted to. You're told to go in search of it constantly, to no avail. We see the people going for it all the time in various different ways.

They push for it all the time, the thing. The feeling, only to be dissapointed constantly, like they've failed. Yet on a TV you can get a snippet, or a shopping mall, or a social media site or what ever really. But, you always fail. There's pressure to get this feeling and if you fail, well....you are a failure, but don't worry, you will be reminded that you can do it again. You will also be reminded that you must strive for it in any way you can, because if you don't you will be left out.......of failing, only to join the merry go round yet again.

We see it everywhere. The quest, the search. They think that by being invited to something that's exclusive that it will give it to them. They think that the launch of something new will give it to them. What's hilarious is that they think that because it hasn't arrived yet they can get pissed off. I find it hilarious that not getting something that you never actually had can cause so much discontent. It's like losing money on a house. Apparently if you sell your house you can get this feeling too. But not if you can't get thousands of dollars more than what you paid. That's apparently called loosing money. Now, really, if you never had that money how can you lose it ? This is a rather large contributor to not getting that feeling.

I've actually seen people do this. But if it goes the other way, well.....that feeling comes, apparently. But for how long I wonder ?

So......do we crave this thing ? And if so why is it so sought after ? I mean everything wears off eventually right. It has to doesn't it ?

Lets look at 2 things, things that are kind of neutral. They don't really get put into a category, they kind of have their own identities, yet they are overlooked so much. 

Black & White !!

We want this kind of "White" thing, but really don't want this "Black" thing. You could also call them Sunrise and Sunset. Or, High tide and Low tide. Or, In and Out. Or, Open and Closed. The list goes on and on and on.....So if we like the Sunset only, what happens ? But what if we like the Closed ? Or the High Tide ? What then ???? Does that mean that we only have these things but not their opposites ?

Well guess what, "NO WAY" you can not avoid the opposite at all.

So why is it that we go full steam ahead in the pursuit of one feeling only ? We know the universe can not and will not give us "ONE" of these things only, and yet I see so many going after that one feeling and ignoring the opposite. It really makes me laugh ! If you don't embrace both you really can't have either can you....

Until you realise that "NOTHING" will give you this feeling without the other you will constantly be looking for it externally, and trust me, it doesn't come from anything external at all. In fact it doesn't come at all until you turn around and face your own opposite head on and thoroughly feel that.
