This is why we never get what we really want.
Have you ever noticed that when you’re desperate for something it’s ridiculously hard to get? It’s like the universe is trying to keep it away from you.
That’s because it is. Not because it’s trying to spite you; after all, you are a part of the universe. The universe spiting you is it spiting itself.
But it does it because you leave it no choice.
Have you ever been around someone who was desperate for your friendship or love? They say all these nice things and inflate you way more than you deserve. They may even compare you to others, saying you’re way better, smarter, more attractive and whatever else they think you want to hear.
It’s a bit much, isn’t it? It makes you feel gross and you definitely don’t trust them. Clearly they want something from you but you’re so grossed out that all you want to do is hurl them into the next county.
Just like the universe keeping things from you, you’re not giving anything of yours to this weirdo. Why is that? What makes us distrust this type of person? It’s because they aren’t here for you. They are here for what you can give them.
Think of this in terms of a job. You are paid to provide service for your fellow man, but your main concern is filling your pockets?
