You Can't Always Get What You Want

When you want something really badly, you spend time obessessing over it. You wonder how to get the object of your desire. You dream about what you are going to do once you obtain it. You think about how happy you will be once you have it in your possession.
But once you get what you want have always wanted, will you still want it? Or did you spend so much time and effort wanting it and idealizing it and scheming about how to get it that when you finally do get it, it doesn't live up to your expectations?
And did you ever really want it in the first place? Was the act of wanting it enough?

Are we obsessed with what we want or are we obessessed with wanting?
