Dumb luck

Why do you suppose it is that we humans have such a penchant for wanting the things that are most inaccessible to us? People, jobs, bric-a-brac, all that stuff and nonsense which we assume will fit neatly into the empty slots of life and suddenly make us whole and happy people. Sometimes it's a grass-is-greener thing, and sometimes it's fox-and-grapes, and sometimes it's just damned, dumb luck putting things you really should have into the places that are the hardest for you to reach.

Should we curse fate, dumb luck, and the universe's disturbed sense of humour?
