the lure of the unattainable

It's odd, but people always want what they can't have. Not on purpose perhaps, and maybe not even in an obvious manner, but the yearning is there. Bubbling, bubbling, under the surface.

That's probably why concepts such as immortality, magic and youth are so attractive universally. Immortality is unattainable, magic is out of our grasp, and youth? Once gone, never to return. Subconsciously, we feel it. We understand. How else would you explain the mass popularity of Romeo and Juliet? Star-crossed lovers, both affluent with their pick of suitors, and they HAD to fall in love with the one they could not have. The irony.

*sigh* What a sorry lot we are. By yearning for the things we cannot have, we are just setting ourselves up for disappointment.

Then again, what's wrong with dreaming? And who's to say the unattainable will forever be the unattainable?

Yearn. Dream. Strive.

Live....

....and err. For is that not what it means to be human?
