Always want what you can't have, explained briefly by evolution

As a specie that is constantly advancing (technology, way of life, everything), we have evolved to enjoy challenges. Without wanting to overcome these challenges we would have never been able to evolve into the intelligent specie that we are today. Evolution makes us pursue more and better things at all times, without it we may not have been able to become such an intelligent and complex specie.

Right now I feel that this evolutionary trait of our personalities is putting me at a disadvantage, thus making me overlook the good and available things in my life and making me want to pursue something (someone) that isn't what I "should want" (but it is what I want since I can't have it). What a dilemma!!

Such a complicated concept, I hope that is all making sense!

  1. even though we may want something we must realize that whatever it is that we are going after may not be the best choice. a challenge is always great but knowing the potential and the energy required to get this is what truly is the limiting factor. I believe that whatever one wants one can get (with sacrifices at times). to me the ultimate question is "is he/it worth all my effort and will i be happy in the end?"
