"Your problem is in thinking the sky's the limit. Why set limits?"

"Having this, we want that.Owning some, we want more.Standing here, we wish to be there.If it's impossible, we struggle to make it happen.Why are we like this?

We strive to learn, to grow, to achieve, to amass; therefore, we will never be content."
