Thanks for the fun and open-ended post topic, today being Saturday, @Jace !
My first thought after a laugh, is that we often imagine something we do not have,
as being much more practical, useful and wonderful, than it turns out to actually be;
so that once we have it, we don't use it as much as we'd thought we would.
Just meaning for simple household items and the like.
I am not meaning the huge desires we have in life.
Hopefully most of those, do fulfill the hopes we'd had for them.
