Various Thoughts
"When we desire or solicit anything our minds run wholly on the good side of the circumstances of it; when 'tis obtained our minds run wholly on the bad ones" I love this thought, because it has so much truth behind it. We are never happy with what we have, we always find flaws in our materials and want something else. Maybe that's just a trait of man kind, to always want more. In some circumstances it can be a good thing, like education or something, to always push yourself to your limits. But other times when we receive something or reach a higher position in society we are not happy for it, we thirst for more power and control. We as humans need to learn to appreciate what we have and not give it up for something more.

I like how you thought of the positive side of this quote. Such as wanting more education. When I read this thought I automatically thought about the fact that we are never happy with what we have but I never considered the fact that it could be a good thing.
