000. 30-Day Writing Challenge - Some thoughts about human desire
Human beings always want something more from what they have simply because they are subjects of desire, which for me it's not as bad as sometimes is perceived (e.i. consumerism desire). Therefore, this question can be approached from two main perspectives: people who uses their desire-motivation as an enhancer to achieve their personal goals, and on the contrary, people that suffer from frustration because of what the have now is just not enough and therefore, their enjoyment of life is somehow postponed until some future event or opportunity became available.
In my opinion, desire is an incredible tool to be motivated and to act in an efficient and organized way. It gives a purpose to behave in different manners in order to accomplish personal objectives, as in the case of people who wake up early in the morning to get the work done, or maybe that start eating clean food because they want to lose some weight. However, acting by desire has its risks because its its interpretation of the present being as a "hard pathway to follow in order to achieve a long-awaited future", which also implies two very arguable ideas: first, that our present is suboptimal than expected, and second, that our future is going to be mavelouse if we act or follow a certain way.
Nevertheless, none of these assumptions must be taken as a norm or dogma, because what we have now it's simply what we need (you get what you need, as The Rolling Stone says), and on the other hand, nobody has its future assured or guarantee, our present is a gift and our future is a mystery, so in my opinion it's reasonable to seize the momentum that results from desire in order to attain some personal development, but without forgetting that life is a long race with its ups and downs.
