its when you become too involved in any one thing, and only that thing, that you begint to want it to become something. want it to be something that it is not, wish that there were things about it that did not exist instead of just seeing it for what it is and accepting its nature and taking the good from it and all from other things in general.

LIFE LESSONS LEARNED FROM STAR WARS MAX YOU ARE PROGRESSING WELL.....

its funny because this idea was sparked throuhg a discussion regarding art making, but really it relates to interpersonal relationships, or just everything, as well.

I agree that when one becomes too focused on a specific thing, one might try to do things they ought not to do. Some things ought not to be forced into a new shape. Of course, some things ought not to be something they were not meant to be.

That is a conservative approach.

On the other hand,

if one always accepts something's basic characteristics, and takes good from it, but does not try to make it into something that it is not, progress will never be made, ever. Focusing too much on something in the hope of progress, but to no avail, is no less a mistake than focusing on many things in the hope of being well-rounded, but without making any progress. I suppose that either of the two outcomes outlined in the previous sentence become more important when an individual is blind to their mistakes, or when they are complacent as a result of either of the two equally problematic methods of action and thought.

I forgot to say, but basically what I mean is that what you are saying is one perspective on human behavior, and that it is important to acknowledge other perspectives.

Since I don't know the context for your statement, I'm not sure whether another perspective might be relevant to even consider. However, I couldn't help but notice the complacent tone of what you were saying, and because such a suggestion generally (althought not always) contradicts my personal methods of dealing with day-to-day things, your statement stood out to me even more, and I decided I might as well respond.
