need a listening ear?

: I woke up this morning finding myself
: wondering why is it that humans do not have
: the ability of seeing what is important in
: their lives until it is gone.
:
: Everyone always says that you have to live
: like if today was your last day, but face
: it, no one does that. We all procrastinate
: whether because we are lazy or because we
: think there are other priorities at the top
: of our list. And I am sure that those
: priorities, when carefully evaluated, should
: remain at the top of the list. But what if
: you could have two number one at the top? Is
: it really impossible to take care of two
: apparently contrasting things at once or is
: it just lack of courage and will?
:
: And what is even more puzzling is that this
: seems to be happening at all levels, from
: the small everyday life of each one of us to
: the biggest problems of the whole planet.
: How is it possible that even some moderately
: intelligent people are not able to break
: this pattern?
:
: Or is it that we suddenly want something
: *because* we cannot have it?
:
: I doubt I will ever have an answer to this
: question, I just hope that those who wonder
: from time to time about this issue will not
: find themselves with nothing more than a
: fist full of sand at the end of their lives.
