You Can't Always Get What You Want

Yes, Mick. I know you sang those words and told us that if we try hard enough we might get what we need. So how do you explain to us the feelings we get when we want something too much. Do we deny our natural feelings or do we cast everything brutally aside and satisfy our longing. You forgot to tell us that.

Not that I ever expected you to provide the answers. That would be expecting the impossible. The moment I start thinking about the subject, I come up with more questions than answers. Questions that will never be answered satisfactorily, however hard I try. Still, it would be nice to know the answer, even an answer.

Instead, these things are sent to teach us, tease us, test us. Whatever lessons we learn will no doubt be forgotten over time and we end up repeating ourselves and our mistakes. Such is life, and what makes it so entertaining to others.

At least we can console ourselves with the fact that love conquers all.
