Getting the best of both worlds
Mankind are greedy by nature.
We are never satisfied with what we have, and are always hoping for more.
As such, we want the best out of everything. We want the best of both worlds.
Is that possible? Not all the time.
One day, I was playing 'Snake' on my hp.
For every 5 apples eaten, there'll will be a bonus tt entitles the player to more points.
It only appears for a while.
The sooner you eat it, the more points you gain.
Sometimes, this bonus is beyond reach. Sometimes, it seems within our reach.
At the same time the bonus appears, one apple will appear too.
I have to eat the apple b4 the bonus to get extra 9 points.
The apple distracts me. I wanna eat the apple, gain extra 9 points, den eat the bonus.
I wanted the best of both worlds.
The temporary incentive causes me to lose my head.
I've forgotten that the bonus earns more points than the apple.
Very often, after eating the apple, it becomes too late for me to eat the bonus.
The ugly side of human surfaces in such a simple game like this. All of us have long term goals, jus like my long term goal when playing snake is to eat as many bonus in the shortest time possible. Temporary temptations stand in our way towards our goal. Being greedy, we think that we can have the temptation and still reach our goal. Sadly, these temptations are detours or another route that deviates us from our long term goals. Jus like this girl who has a 5 yr r/s w her bf. A temporary temptation caused her to two time her bf. How can u have the best of the worlds, or rather, 2 guys? She has lost sight of her long term goal. She will regret forever for giving in to temptation.
