Wondering

Is it true that when something is out of our reach, it becomes more appealing to us?

We are always going after what we desire, yet once we get our hands on it we lose all interest in it!

Maybe it is a blessing that most of us cannot get all we want, and maybe it is better for us to keep some distance between us and others to establish healthy relations!

When and where are limits drawn?

    il mamnoo3 marghoob! sometimes we would have somethin thrown in our closet for days and we never even bothered to look at it twice… when someone wants to take away we become possessive and really do feel we CANT let them have it! its psychological and applies to everything & everyone!!!

    even when it comes to love… there is a mathal in jordan that says :

    il rjaal zay il 6awabi.. BAZIG BILAZIG LOOOOOOl

    oh another one is… mitil il khayaaal urkuth wara birkuth minak… 2imshi BITLAGEEE WARAAAK!!

    It’s kind of obsession, it’s of human’s nature! Always want to be the best, have everything and know everyone!
    Sometimes people feel comfortable knowing that this person/thing is around and he can find it whenever. 5alas bs haik to feel secure, o lamma yroo7 nash3oro bel sho2esmo

    and yeah it’s healthy to keep a distance between you and some people tafadeyyan lel sadamaaat :)

    again Golli laGafet fekretak aw laG :P ?

    Many concepts/ideas go into the explanation of this “phenomenon.” One of them is the rule of supply and demand, the other is satisfying our curiosity; something that we do not know much about seems very intriguing to us, but once we get to know it in-depth, we loose interest in it.

    Very normal, unless it becomes pathological.

    Dino: LOL @ you, ta7sheesh :D I agree with you on the psychological part … I think I should go see a shrink!

    Weddo: LaGafteeha :P You are right. I think we are needy by instinct.

    Theone: So we agree :)

    Nana: Truth hurts :|

    Mr. Dream: Losing interest in something we desired for too long is actually a frightening thought. How can you go on about life knowing things and people might someday become too dull?
