"Why Do You Feel Differently"

Gertrude Stein really points an issue that has existed from past to present. We as humans always want bigger and better things whether it be the bigger turkey, as mentioned in the poem, or wanting to be treated like the person on the other side of the block. It's a natural desire to never be satisfied with what we have but that doesn't make it alright.  The example that Stein uses to express this is a perfect fit.  She says, "To Be/No Please/To Be/They can please....." She takes a double standard of a wife always having to please a husband that will never be satisfied.  Again the question arises why is everything a wife can do never enough? I believe that Stein was trying to open our eyes with this poem and help us see that having desires can be great but it can also work against us.  If our desires begin to overtake our mind and body we will always want what we shouldn't and never appreciate what we do have.
