Don't we all!! But over time we learn to live with the happiness that we can have and deal with the realization that we will never have ALL of what we want. I wonder, does that make me a 'loser' instead of the 'winner' that the corporate types want me to be? Is it necessary to be a 'winner' at all? Where does renunciation fit into all this? And why am I trying to sound philosophical without any idea about what I'm saying? Maybe it's the afternoon booze... Sorry.
remember school days, we used to have these short stories with a moral!! One such was of Tom Sawyer, who was asked to whitewash a fench by his uncle. He hated the work, but put up a show to his friends that this was the best-est job one could do, that nothing more euphoric than whitewashing! They then paid Tom to finish the job for him. :)

Hmmm .. maybe its the morning smoke!
I guess if you are unsatisfied with happiness, even happiness will become elusive!
:) true.
but Bill Waterson thinks likewise in his depictions of humor.
Its obvious that when u reach to the state of uphoria u are satisfied and happy..ultimately u are longing for happiness in uphoria..nah?
