Elvis Presley is truly the King of Rock-n-Roll. You can't help but feel a jive go on inside of you as you listen to the sound of his songs. The piano in A Big Hunk o' Love is incredible. Sometimes that inner jive begins to spill out and I begin to spin around. His music is just that powerful, and that good too! Well, it's in that same song that he says, "You're just a natural born bee hive, filled with honey to the top, but I aint greedy, baby, all I want is all you've got!" That comment got me to thinking (a dangerous habit of mine). Why do we always want more? Or rather, why do we always want it all? Can't we conform ourselves with less? Sometimes a little less is enough. Sometimes all can be too much. Too much can be rather gluttoneous. Of course sometimes all can still not be enough too, so it really depends. This makes me think of my other post, The Deal on Dating. We expect all and so we feel we have to give all. Either way it's impossible. Even in a marriage situation where more is had than at any point prior you can never still have it all. That is, I suppose, the wonder or beauty or magic of it all. It leaves you wanting more.
