'more in life'

Is there more to life than zapping through each day like a rat on fire?
Besides meetings, clearing paperwork, meeting targets and winding down the madness with online games - what else does life have to offer on a personal level?
Is there some other form of satisfaction that we need to attain before we can truly say that we are at peace with ourselves. This has got nothing to do with conscience. That, we must have on a daily basis.

There is this point we will arrive at, when we simply want to skip the next hurdle and get going. It's like waking up in the morning and realising that it's another day, full of predicted surprises, which we will take into our stride (as usual) waiting for the whole cycle to begin again, when the sun rises. It has nothing to do with boredom either. Work is work - Work is as boring or as interesting as we wish for it to be. If work is boring then the job match is wrong to begin with.

Life must be about wanting to live, not just breathing in and out.
Life must be about a balance of laughter and tears, without which we probably wouldn't be enriched with gratitude.
With that philosophy, why do we still feel so incomplete sometimes?

There are somethings in our lives we quietly struggle to manage - the bridge that's missing; leaving pieces unlinked.
Sometimes we never get to find those pieces - or those pieces are visible but just not within our conscious reach. What do we do then?

We end up doing what everyone does.
We stay quiet.
We plod along.
We lie in wait, for what we think is the right time.
Perhaps "more in life" means hope.
Hope for a more complete life.
