can't always get what you want

I remind myself that humans rarely know how to want what is good, myself including.
This is comforting and makes it much more easy to accept and adapt when things don't seem to go as desired.
I remember long ago when I considered the reason that prayers aren't always answered is because humans don't often ask for the right things.


However, it also reminds me of a faith I used to trust more reliably.

You get what you need.
(but you do have to try)
