Generally speaking, every day is a new beginning and new desires, aspirations and anxieties come with it. It seems that most human beings are insatiable because the fulfillment of each goal triggers another one. Inherently, this is very good because if there are no perceivable goals in life, we find life absurd, and such a feeling brings with it a lot of despair. A Persian poet has a very nice couplet about man and his desires. In this couplet, he compares man to a rolling wave of the sea stating that we feel alive because we are constantly in motion just like the ocean waves; our demise reaches when we stop acting and moving toward prespecified goals.
