"There is a gap between what we want and what we can have, and that gap_ is our link, our connection, to the world_ This discord, this supposed mismatch, is the origin of our experience of missing out. The more we frustrate ourselves in wanting something, the more we value our desire for it_ Waiting too long poisons desire, but waiting too little pre-empts it; the imagining is in the waiting_ Wanting takes time; partly because it takes some time to get over the resistances to wanting, and partly because we are often unconscious of what it is that we do want. But the worst thing we can be frustrated with is frustration itself; to be deprived of frustration is to be deprived of the possibilities of satisfaction."
