Wants

What we want is often not what we get
We ask for wealth and we get jobs to work hard at
We want to be loved and we get people to love (and be loved in return)
We want to be compassionate and there are needy ones around us
We want to be courageous and we get fear and danger
We want results and we get opportunities
We get not what we want but what we need to get what we want
Coz if we get everything we ask for, we are nothing but a mere consumer
And making this life worthwhile means being not a consumer but an achiever.
