Our Drive for the Things We Can't Obtain

    As teens, we all want new things. But when we can't have these new things, it creates anxiety. Future generations were definitely more realistic than we are. They knew their limits but also knew what the had to do for the things that they want. Nowadays everyone wants things without working for them. Of course there are exceptions, but it seems as if the majority of us expect to receive no matter what. We aren't grateful for what we already have. It is a good thing that this generation is always expecting more because that is what as humans gets us far in life. A curioisity and desire for more. More could mean anything; more time, more money, more education, anything. The bad thing is that we don't want to work more. We have that desire for new things but we don't have a desire to work for those new things. When we can't receive what we believe we deserve, it gives us anxiety.
