Can't always get what you want

Toy story 2 and 3 spoilers ahead.

I watched Toy Story 3 this past summer and I was wondering who the hell is this girl cowboy (FYI I had not seen TY2 yet). Last week I finally saw TY2. Seemingly the crux of the story came down to the following dilemma: whether it's better to be loved, but ultimately suffering a shorter lifespan or to live forever, yet never experience love again. My interpretation was that even if you lived a mortal life, you would die happy knowing you were loved rather spending an eternity with feelings of emptiness.

In the second film, Woody chose the former, yet by the third film, Woody and the other toys were sweating bullets about being relegated to the scrap heap. Sure things worked out for the toys by the end of the 3rd film, but ultimately, the toys are doomed to the same fate. Eventually, the toys won't find a new owner and they'll be scrapped. It turns out that like a junkie, the toys needed to shoot up on someone else's love to feel good about their existence.

Woody should have chosen the latter.

Sorry if I'm trying to be practical here.
