The question (from Yahoo Answers Philosophy):
Why is it so?
We do not get what we like and do not like what we get sometimes.

My Answer:
Picture a pizza pie. Take away two slices. What do you have left? Three quarters of a pizza? Not enough? An incomplete puzzle? An annoying asymmetry?
Every atom and molecule in the universe is susceptible to change. DNA and Nebulae live to diversify and produce new things. Every aspect of the universe is poised to grow and change and pass away. It is never complete.
Animals hunger, and seek those things they are geared to find. Cats play with yarn. Humans seek patterns in everything. We want that finished product, that whole pie in the sky that life can never be. It is our gift to seek it, and it is the universe's gift not to give it to us, so that we are always and forever seeking those missing pieces.
We don't always get what we want or accept what we get because that would kill us.
