So, if I have something that I know you want, and I tell you to be patient, and keep reciting to you lines such as "Rome wasn't built in a day", what happens when days pass and weeks then months and eventually years? Does the desire to possess that something grow greater or diminish to absolute nothingness with time?
It's just like wanting to be with somebody who keeps pushing you away. It tears at your heart with every failed attempt to connect. Eventually the pain wears off and you begin to feel comfortable where this person puts you. To a point where even if they change their minds and want to "award" you that chance, it only serves as the long-awaited pathway to your unhindered freedom. Trust me.
Feelings of wanting something so bad, regardless of whether it is material or emotional or physical, do have an end. And as for why people have to wait to have something that's already within reach, still puzzles me. Denying someone something you know they really want just to keep them on the hook will absolutely work. Each time guaranteed. But trust me, if you hold back for too long, they lose interest and eventually don't care at all...
That said, this life is too short to deny one a chance of happiness and fulfilment. Live it to the full so even if you die today, you have no regrets as you walk into the light.
