The object of our desire

The object of our desire always seems something out of our reach. We, as human beings, always seek what we can't have.

examples are unlimited:

you long for a ipod and soon after receiving it, you want more and because your desire of receiving it was fulfilled, your desire moves along to another seemingly unattainable object.

you think and think and think about that one person knooowing that they probably never gave a single thought about you. you want so bad for them to give a thought about you or care, but a sort of inverse relationship happens. the more you care and think about that person, the less they care and think about you.

the whole "I can't wait till high school is over so that I can go to college" to "I can't wait till college is over so i can get settled" once you're where you "used" to want to be, you then jerk your head towards the future desiring something else.

and because all our desires are never ultimately met, humans seek spiritual guidance. the "something more" to life. I believe, almost every person that lives on this earth has a time where they experiment, indulge, or commit to things not of this world. it doesn't have to be a set religion. It could be things like fortune telling, astrology, etc.

I truly believe in what i believe in. I believe in christianity. and when I talk about christianity or anything cool/interesting that i found out to people who aren't so into christianity...sometimes I get the most rude, unexpected comebacks or closed minded questioning to everything that comes out of my mouth. I respect and hear out their thoughts...and I wish that they would hear me out.
I get these "you're such a retard for believing in that nonsense!" kind of remarks and questionings.
and it makes me aggravated because NO RELIGION has 100 percent proven worldly facts that ALL around prove that their religion is true and should be believed in.

and also, what can I say to them? especially those wordly people who believe that miracles and such are completely bogus. and they base everything on reasoning and don't comprehend the concept of faith? what can I say?
I know I cant say "i'll pray for you" because that wil cause anger. I can't continue to try to win the almost angry debate to illustrate faith.

and so after seeing those rolling eyes and the "you're such a goody goody" glare,

all I can do is walk away in prayer. and here I am with this mixed feeling in my heart. but you know what? It's because I'm seeking something unattainable.
