When it comes to possessions in this world, we can identify (at least) three things working... 1. Things to want to have. Wealth, security, a nice car and home, freedoms to live, freedom to worship. Who can deny anyone wanting to have these? These are your needs. 2. Things you want to get. Happiness, joy, love, peace are included. We all want these, but maybe not have them yet. 3. Things you want to get but not have. The girl/boy next door, the next promotion, or the chairmanship of something big. Name your own. It is our headlong scramble for the third that causes us unlimited problems, conflicts, mis-directions, competition, and unhappiness. You work for them, you strive for them, you hope for them. Then you get them, and become profoundly disappointed after they arrive.
