Magic Man

This can be observed all throughout history, we as a human species are startling. Our resolve strengthens when denied and yet we lose interest if we're given something on a platter, what is it about mankind that likes the high difficult road? Are we eternal fools or have we been wired with the ultimate drive engine in reverse psychology?
We will never conquer the skies, we will never land on the moon, we will never map the human gnome - these are all things that have been reverbed through pessimistic individuals, and yet we conquered.
By all common sense, people like Mozart had no right to go down as one of the greatest classical composers ever - he was deaf, he never heard a single note that he penned on paper. Hellen Keller, she was deaf and blind, yet she could speak, ride horses, and do extraordinary things. And closest to most of us, how many of us have been denied love and chased after it with the gusto that many of us never knew we had?
Is our ability to take no as an answer our greatest well of strength? Is stubborness a good trait? We search and search, sometimes with now knowledge if an end even exists, what happens if there is no fairytale ending? What if pinnochio can never be a real boy?
We would still search and we would search until our eyes stopped seeing and our ears stopped hearing and our hearts stopped beating.
What if we weren't wired like this, what if no = no. Would we be where we are today? Technologically, religiously, socially?
