The Neverending RACE to NOWHERE ! The UPGRADE race !

Whenever I find time..I pull out my notebook and start to prepare a "Wish-List" of things that I wanna possess.....the list is neverending it seems...and my guess is..most of us do the same and realize the same....the race is neverending !
Everything thats available is automatically on the wish list...and everything that is already possessed, is already useless. With new-learnt geeky terms...our lives are on "upgrade" mode all the time...where everything HAS to be upgraded to better version ! Unless we do that...there is aconstant fear of "crashing" and "losing support". Crashes - lack of mental peace...and less self-satisfaction. Support - society visions, supoprt and respect.
I wonder sometimes...if our previous generation was made to run tha rat race...would they win ??? I think....they would...always.....surely.....! The difference is not in the race....but in the art of running ! They were not exposed to this huge "information base"....and they could not "connect" to each other so much...and niether did they have so many "financial resources" available. But still, they participated in the race, and they did win ! The tools were simple....the style was orthodox..and the results were guaranteed. They were happy to finish the race....they were competing with themselves.
Today, we are battling a war...not just within ourselves, but with the extreme entries of the table as well..! We wanna win...not within..but win against the most desired..prized possession. We want to be up-to-date with the latest versions...of life.
Wonder when there arent further "releases" available....and product "end-of life" is near...would we be able to say that we WON the race ???
