We all want different things for ourselves, but we all want something at any rate, whether that is a slick roadster, Siamese cats, better sex, a PhD, or ten pounds less to haul around.
Most of us would probably agree that they want love in their life, maybe even children, while others are okay with settling for a decent way to spend their time on this planet.
Wanting something is what gets us up in the morning. The lack of want is often associated with either depression or a mythical place called paradise.
But imagine you got up in the morning and the one and only thing on your mind was the paradox of wanting absolutely nothing.
My question is: would you be able to make it through the day?
Or would wanting nothing at all be too unattainable a goal because suddenly one would become aware of all the little things we want in a day like, say for instance, undisturbed sleep (and nipples!), or taking a dump unwitnessed.
After ten years into the mind-changing business of raising children I am proud to declare that I am fine doing without the undisturbed bathroom routine.
So I am beginning to think that I must be hitting paradise any time now!

You just reminded me that some people actually have bathroom time all to themselves.
Checking in and reading up on the other side of the ocean.
