You cannot chase two rabbits at the same time

A wise man once said, "No one can serve two masters, because either he will hate one and love the other, or be loyal to one and despise the other" Matthew 6:24 and that wise man is Jesus Christ. I have come to the realisation that, the above statement is true and if one does chase after two rabbits, it does have serious consequences. Chasing two rabbits will mean that one of the rabbits will have more of your attention than the other and when that happens, you will loose the other, if not both.
We live in this world, where everybody wants to have it all; in doing that, we ultimately loose focus of our goals and purpose in life. I personally feel that, chasing two rabbits at the same time is a sign of greediness and unappreciative. When you have something good in your life, don’t chase another. Be contented with what you do have.
The issue of relationships is a perfect example in this case. Where a man will have a woman who loves and cares very much for him; but to him is not enough, he needs more and so he goes out and looks for more. When he does that the consequences are always drastic for him and the women.
I feel that, a person that is always chasing two rabbits will never be satisfied. You can call him/her a confused and self-centred person. Who thinks that the world revolves around him/her - he/she always takes and never gives. The most interesting part of chasing two rabbits is that one of the rabbits will be more important than the other and so you cause the “less important” to feel like he/she is not worth it; and to make a person feel that way is just cruel.
I know it is human nature to want more, but be wise and prioritise things. Ask yourself, who am I? What is important in my life? What do I want to achieve from doing this and where do I want to go? What are my values and principles? Questions like these, makes you know which rabbit to choose and stick to, instead of chasing the two and in the process hurt one or even loose both. At the end, you will end up in a lot of trouble, because you will get what you did not bargain for.
