Gap

We are here so briefly and yet we chase all the wrong things. I see people distracted by pursuits that don't matter. Power, money, possessions, promotions, notoriety; they are meaningless but we are trying to close a gap of permanent dissatisfaction we cannot seem put our finger on. Hence we fill it with whatever we can find.

Once we have a roof over our head and food in the belly nothing we acquire will increase our life satisfaction. In fact many stress about having too much and how they might lose it all in day if they aren't careful. Our natural state is to find something wrong with our lives even if it needs fabricating.

We also over value our importance to the world when that value is best found in finding community with others at the most intimate and lowest level possible.

What we crave is the purest form of connection.
