<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hotwheelsearl, post: 2460344, member: 75143&quot;]It&#039;s the pursuit.&nbsp; I&#039;ll give an example from my favorite book of all time, &quot;The Dream of Perpetual Motion&quot; by Dexter Palmer.</p><p>In it, the main character Harold is offered &quot;his hearts desire&quot; from the richest man in the known universe, Prospero.</p><p>Now what is his heart&#039;s desire?&nbsp; It is to be with his love.&nbsp; But here&#039;s the kicker - once he actually <i>is</i> with her, there&#039;s nothing left for him to work towards.</p><p>So, in order to fulfill Harold&#039;s heart&#039;s desire, Prospero takes out the girl&#039;s soul and puts it in a machine.&nbsp; This way, Harold can forever pursue his love but he&#039;ll never actually get her.</p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of coins, it&#039;s fun to hunt for that one coin eluding you for <i>years</i> (in my case, a goshdarn 1959-D penny in circulation that took me about 12 years to find), but once you actually do get it, what now?&nbsp; I used to pull out that folder and gaze longingly at that one empty hole, but once I filled up the folder I just tossed it in my pile of finished folders and barely ever looked at it again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
