Overuse or Over-worship


 

It's the weirdest way to view things

Especially when they're not vital to our existence. 

What makes you Fitz better than Dant,

Clase better than Arette? 

Why don’t I feel remorse when one of you is gone,

But make sure to cherish every moment with the other? 

Why do I go out of my way to chase one of you,

But neglect the fact that the other is always there? 

 

It is strange that we make decisions on things based on the values others give to them. 

I guess that's how the free market works. 

Once many people give value to something it becomes almost inaccessible to others. 

And it forces us to chase and worship someone's point of view,

Even though we might have different tastes. 

 

Now we should ask ourselves,

How do we stop? 

Or better yet, can we stop?

Once we get it, will we even dare to try it? 

Will we even dare experience it to the fullest? 

Will it satisfy us? 

Will it ever be what we thought it would? 

 

How about, we over worship the always present and accessible 

For the important role that their reliability plays in our lives,

And overuse the hard-to-find, and unavailable,

Since it took so much effort to get them and they won't last forever.
