What is it about forbidden fruit that makes it so sweet?
Why are we always longing for the things we can't have or for the things that others have and we don't? What is it about the things we shouldn't do or have that makes it so appealing to humans?
Human memory is demonstrably bad, while human imagination is demonstrably fecund. It's EASY to imagine that something fantastic is just around the corner and it's also EASY to forget that misery was all that awaited you around almost all the corners you've been around so far.
On the other hand, it's hard to maintain illusions about what you are doing right now. This is why most people are disappointed by their present - they see it all too clearly compared to the future and the past. This leads people sometimes to do even things that they KNOW are foolish.
I'm reminded of Nietzsche's interpretation of the story of Pandora's Box. Short version of the story: a box which holds all the evils of the world is opened and they all get out, but it's closed again just before hope escapes. What Nietzsche asked was 'what was hope doing in a box with every evil in the world anyway... is it because HOPE is evil?'.
Whether this is a correct interpretation of the story or not, it's a very interesting philosophical point. Without hope, would people do all the stupid things they sometimes do? I suspect that many of them would cease. It is sometimes hope which is our tormentor, causing us to endure what we would otherwise throw off in hope of it stopping, and leading up to do what we would otherwise avoid in hope of it leading to better things.
Make of that what you will.
Forbidden Fruit -- Jessica Simpson -- Lyrics
