Why

Why do we always want the unattainable? We know its more likely for us to win the lottery than for that certain thing we want to happen. But we still can't stop ourselves from wanting it. Deep down we know only in our wildest dreams would this happen and in reality its a near impossibility. Still we can't help but hope. So how could we suppress our wants? Should we? Why do we cling to the hopeless? The hurtful? Things we are better without? Sometimes hope is necessary for our survival. It helps us strive and though most often than not we fall, we're better for it.
