Into the fray, once more!

He was there once before. He did what everyone else had done before. The pain, the anguish, the joy; he had experienced it all. He left it all behind.

And yet, he tries again.

Pfft, here I am, typing away at 1.38 AM, wondering if this one will last longer than the rest. It's always been a bit iffy, this blog thing. I wonder if I'll have something substantial to blog about this time?

Let's begin with some words on the title...

'Envy my satisfaction'

I am satisfied with life. Right now, I have nothing to do about it, and it is good. I know that in the future, I'll have to work hard to continue being satisfied. Yet, how many of us here can say that we are truly satisfied with what we have?

'I want a better car.'
'I wish he loved me more.'
'I wish she would care.'
'I want more money.'


'I want a better life.'

We want and we want and we want. When we do get what we want, we want more. More, more, more. More money, more health, more love, more respect. Can't you be happy with what you have?

Even if you say: 'I am still living with my family; what would you know about satisfaction?', what about those other millions of people who are living with their families? Are they truly happy with their lives? Can they honestly say that they don't need anything more, that they can live their lives this way forever?

Can you accept the life you live?

I think I can.
