Wanting More

Here's an interesting perspective from the confessional poet, Sylvia Plath:

"Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing."

To me, it's similar to the idiom "the more you have, the more you WANT," yet it goes further by suggesting that more won't fill the hollowness we might feel. The desire to want and have things is not satisfied by MORE, because you likely already have everything you need and don't realize that having things is NOT what satisfies or makes a good life. The emptiness inside doesn't go away by acquiring more things to fill that space.
