Progression

Progression is this oddly satisfying event. Nearly every time that progression occurs in others, work, a long road trip, a roller coaster ride, or even eating a meal the forward progression in and of itself is satisfying. Yes, the actual growth is great. Yes, the people and making money at the job is great also. Yes, seeing what I see on the long trip and finally getting to the destination is great as well. All that being said, the progression alone, just the transition of things from where they were to where they are is satisfying to me.

Now I am unsure if this is a humanly innate desire to have things progress or if it is just myself. If it is a feeling everyone has, why does it always seem to stop short? Just being alive and allowing time to pass is a progression in itself. Shouldn't this inherent happiness also stem from our inherent state of being alive because of this progression? Yes you are alive to spend time with family, spend time with friends, see things truly majestic, improve other people's lives, experience rich and deeply connected emotions, feel the wind, taste the corners of the earth. When all that is stripped away though, there is still this progression of life and time that should help push us along.

Not sure where this is for many people or how to 'tap into it' to let them know. Where were you? Where are you?
