& Yet

Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.

- C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

I am far too easily pleased. & this alone could very well be the cause of major future regrets in my life. Up til now, my goals - of any form: short term, long term, daily, academic etc - have always been pretty realistic. Meaning I actually put serious proper thought into them when penning down what to achieve by when. & yet I've never once hit the 100% mark cos when I'm at 70%, 80%, 90%, I stop. Blissfully basking in the false security that having completed a majority of the task brings. Half-heartedness; I pretty much epitomise that :/

Man is so immeasurably flawed.
