Do we really want it?

There is an old Greek fable which is quite popular among kids around the world; it is about the story of a fox, who tries really hard to get his hands on a tasty vine of grapes. The fox tries and he tries, but eventually he fails in all of his attempts to acquire the grapes; at which point the fox calmly continues with his life by convincing himself that he really didn't want those grapes that badly afterall.

There is a common wisdom in this tale that I want to share with you, that is, how we deal with being thwarted in our desires.
