Affirmative. Speaking from my vast (kidding) experience, there seems to be a cosmic and universal correlation between a woman's beauty and her impact on your finances. uh oh

Well...the grass is certainly greener for the horses I'm working with as they keep breaking their fences when they see a patch of grass over the road..laugh


It is in our natural instinct to want something that is unavailable!

People always want what they can't have.
That gives them a reason to indulge in self-pity about the unfairness of their lives.

Although we have less imagination than ever before there’s never been a time for taking fantasy so seriously.

And it’s narcissism. Powerless to resist even the most basic and banal of dreams - the idealised lover. It’s that habit of getting your own way all the time in consumer society that kills a dream to follow a dream. The small dreams of convenience and related obsession with what is not convenient.

Convenience can be considered one of the great luxuries when compared with previous ages.
Some dreams are better left as such, because they turn out to be sandcastles when exposed to the light of day.

Well, one can have what they want, really...
An exotic holiday, nice house, money...
But one can't always have the person they think they want...
It's lack of compability, interest, chemistry and so on, nothing unusual and nothing dramatic...

Yet you still find people born without the envy gene who don’t necessarily want what they can’t have/what you have.

A rose by any other name, it isn’t usual to love the thing in itself. Downside: addicts and weirdos. There are risks for any individual who makes fewer preselected choices.
