What's the worst thing that could happen?

When Enough Is Never Enough

By Sugan Ya Published 2 years ago • 1 min read

What's the worst thing that could happen? We land the dream job, the one we thought would fill the void, but soon we’re scrolling through listings again, hunting for a better title, a bigger paycheck. We win the lottery, buy the car that gleams like a promise, but then the horizon calls, and we convince ourselves a sailboat is the answer. We win the heart we chased for years, the love we swore would be enough, but suddenly, our eyes wander, hungry for something new, something more. People can be insatiable, always leaning forward, always reaching past the things they once dreamed of holding. Perhaps the worst thing is not wanting more, but forgetting to be still, to be grateful for what’s already ours....
