Today I came across an incredible deal. A free
mouse (of the computer variety not the mammal kind) for every customer. You
didn't even have to make any other purchase, all you had to do was pay for
postage and packaging. This worked out at about $15 for a $80 mouse. It was a
very good mouse. As mice go, this was the bee's knees. Anything you could want
from a mouse it could do. And several things you probably wouldn't want a mouse
to be able to do too. This was a great deal. And I was very tempted to buy it.
There was just one problem. I don't actually need a new mouse. I already have
one, and I can't really use two at the same time now can I?
Not only did I not need a new mouse, but
actually I didn't want a new mouse either. Yes this mouse is newer than my
mouse. Yes this mouse is worth more than my mouse despite costing less. Yes it
has excellent reviews. Yes it has more features than my mouse. Yes it can do
things that I didn't even know mice could do. But I like my mouse. I know it.
I'm used to it. It's comfortable. It does everything I've ever wanted a mouse
to do (mainly move a cursor around…). So why was I seriously considering buying
a new one? Was it just because it was new? Was it because mine is going to
break at some point so it's good to get one ready while there's a good deal
just in case? Or was it simply because it was such a bargain? Because the thing
is, a great deal is only a great deal if you actually want what you're buying.
I wonder how much I'm guilty of this in life.
Not just when it comes to shopping, but when it comes to the way I live my
life, the decisions I make and the things I live for and spend my time doing.
How often do I get distracted from the things I have or the things I have
dedicated myself to pursuing, for something new? Something that looks
attractive but actually adds no value but just incurs a cost no matter how
greatly reduced that cost is. Why is it that I can be so easily tempted by
these things and what can I do to remind myself of the true value of what I
already hold dear?
