I had to quell many an urge to want or even demand more this Christmas season. I'm generally satisfied with what I have, until Christmas when people want to GIVE you stuff. Then all the sudden, I am asked to WANT more. Then, in brief moments of failure, I am unsatisfied with a very blessed life. I see what others received, and might even think that what I got was "not as good". Come on. I'm an American. I'm spoiled.
Why want more? All that wanting causes an unnecessary disequilibrium. It's disgusting. There is so much need, we have so much, and we dare not be happy with it? We live in a very dangerous culture. Dangerous to our holistic health. In our society, how are we supposed to maintain a good physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, or any other health, when we are never satisfied. I'm making the choice to try to be happy with that I have, and be grateful for all the gifts I've received. To be satisfied is to have peace. All want does is cause strife. Tiny little ripples of strife in your life and in others that build up in millions and billions of people until our selfishness puts the world in a scary, teetering sociopoliticoeconomic crisis in which everyone is hurt in their own special way. No thanks. I'll take my part to seek peace for myself and others in the satisfaction I have for giving and being happy with what I have.

This is so true. I find myself in the same boat each December, but I am truly thankful for everything and everyone that I have been blessed with this Christmas and this year :)
