From the outside, one might not understand--one might not think it makes any sense. We yearn for something that is possible. Something that is attainable through dedication and hard work and courage. So why is it that we simple waste away the days on computer games and fast food? We just can't bring ourselves to actually do it. Why?

Maybe for two reasons:

First, though we yearn for this something we desire simple comforts even more. All we ask is for a little rest and relaxation--a pill to knock us out.

Second, we're actually scared of achieving our goals--what then?
