The Impossible

I always want the impossible
To climb the highest tree
I always want what I can't have
And it all seems to me
The higher up you place your needs
The better off you'll get
The Enigma of your dreams can come
Then you're home free and yet
Had you settled for second place
You're apt to slowly find
That when you cheat yourself of needs
You leave yourself behind.

Wise thoughts. If people would cheat themselves of wants, they would live much better.

haha.
its so funny that i should read this right now.
ive just finished telling someone that i suck at planning.
but when we were talking about wanting to go on a scenic flight and having to book i said i would only go if the weather was perfect and my friend was like "well how do you propose youre gonna plan that?" and i realised... i only want to be able to plan the impossible... the rest is over rated haha!

yes... we always want the impossible.
i guess it makes sense though because we always want what we cant have...

You are so right, we must always strive for the highest mountain peak for if not when we get to the top of the smaller one we will still see and crave to be at the top of the higher one. Great work here and good lesson.
