aspiration

it seems we always want a car or house or wedding or other such material thing or experience that is just beyond our reach, and settle for something less - a compromise between desire and reality (and budget).

i suppose when it comes to aspiration, the human being is unlikely to hanker after something he can already attain - its desirability is intimately connected with its elevation. however, too high, and we don't lust after in any real sense, since it crosses over into fantasy or imagination.

the toyota man dreams realistically (a real oxymoron) of a beemer, not a ferrari.
