I told You that the things You post have me musing. I figured I'd muse in print this time. If it is OK.

There is a cost for getting what we want. The less we pay in the currency of time or of effort, the less value the object has when it is no longer wanted, but "got".

i think if one decides the cost is worth the obect of desire and works to earn it, the value is still there. Even if the object falls short of its perceived promise. One should not regret putting in an effort to earn it.

rg: I just got myself a kitchenaide mixer after years and years of wanting one of my own. I waited until I could aford it, found it on sale, and got it. It has a place of honor, even if i have not used it yet. It is too hot to bake. its been over a month and i am still so proud that i finally could get it.

Wanting something and having it handed to you without effort, or without your being willing to put in any effort.... well the word "Spoiled" comes to mind for a reason. Imagine feeling no appreciation for anything you have, because you did not earn it. Even the most amazing prize/object/friend/spouse/kitten/car/diploma will lose luster quickly if the appraisal is the price of a whim.
