"Criterion of Consciousness"

A main "Criterion of Consciousness" for the human experience, Laurel, is never having all you want. For as one dream comes true, another swiftly takes its place. Not having all you want is one of life's constants.

And learning to be happy while not yet having all you want is the first "Criterion of Joy." Nail it, and for the rest of your life people will be asking what it is about you.

Desire, Laurel, is a beautiful thing.

Yeah, Laurel, as if they weren't already asking.
