everyone gets everything they want no mistakes
yeah, but dog, can you tell me, what do you really, really want?? heck, i can never make up my mind. tangling my emotions up into a tight wad is an ongoing flow of seductive possibilities that come and go -- in and out of my focus-- novelties of intriguing experiences that i think i might really want --just keep flip-flopping from day to day -- options bouncing back and forth from one tantalizing mutually exclusive conundrum of internal/external circumstance/condition to another.
hmm. i'm reminded of an old german saying goes like this: he who tries to accomplish everything, accomplishes nothing.
so, i think that this point boils down in that the "want" aspect has got to be powered by an abiding intense desire, that is, in contrast to mere transient, casual wannabee desire stuff. ( which is a very good thing! ...considering some of the tantalizing trash that wanders by and grabs my momentary interest...
...however, on futher, future consideration i don't want
that
movie scenario in any of my future agendas!)
don't get me wrong, i'm all for freewill ... just on a short leash...
billiousbobbutterball ... succumbing to the 'want' of just pullin' your leg a bit..
