Focused Elsewhere

There is an acronym, FOMO. Have you heard of it? Fear of Mission Out. As part of our fear missing out we miss out because we tend not to be satisfied with what we have. Rabbi Kushner’s story earlier seems to point to that. Craigslist exists in part because we’re looking for something else. Or at least getting rid of what we already have so we can go get something else. When I was in the Air Force we had a saying. The worst base in the Airforce was the one you were currently stationed and the best base to be stationed at was the one you just left. We are in an infinite loop of seeking something better.
