You can never get enough of the things you don't need, because the things you don't need can never satisfy.
Marvin J. Ashton

I think this quote is perfectly stated. I never really thought about it from that angle. But, in reading the quote I find that it makes perfect sense.
There is no bottom to the bag of our desire for things we truly do not need. It really is funny the way we, as humans, are. There can be something right in front of for years that we have overlooked the whole time. But, let someone come tell us that we can no longer have access to that thing. ALL OF THE SUDDEN we can live without that thing.
Our desires are bent towards that which we can't have, and that which we can't obtain. One more interesting example. Have you ever had a person to like you and be interested in you romantically, who you were not interested in. They made it known to you that they were interested, but you just did want them. But, the day came when they expressed that they were no long interested. On that day, at that moment, that person became so attractive in your eyes.
Funny things don't you think. And interesting. hmmm.
