It Has Nothing To Do With Intelligence
I don’t know how to explain to you that wanting something, no matter how hard, is not enough.
There are many who want to be happily married so badly but some of these people remain single, or some of them make a lot of effort to make their marriages work and they just don’t.
There are enough people in this world that I can fairly say that millions want to own luxury cars and homes in upscale neighborhoods and regularly be seen at restaurants often talked about. These people mention wanting a lifestyle that includes all of these, and some of these people work long hours to get them but they don’t end up having even a third of them.
Many sick people live on this earth and, certainly, they want to be healthy and functional. They want to contribute actively to society. They want to engage in active social lives again. However, a lot of these patients remain bed-ridden. Many of these people’s diseases worsen. Not every patient who wants to be well again ends up being well like before. A lot of these people may have been sick for most of their lives and may stay that way until the end. Nobody wants to be unwell in body and mind.
Yet, you fail to understand that wanting something with all of one’s heart isn’t enough sometimes.
