The Illusion Of Satisfaction (1) by Fatherherokay(m): 1:36am On Nov 23, 2016 |
There is a strong illusion, the illusion of satisfaction. Humans generally believe that the more of a thing, the better they get satisfied. However, this is not true. This illusion is revealed when you want a better house, a better car, a more satisfying sexual experience or even a better house. The illusion is also expressed when you seek a higher degree, search for a better pay or add that extra portion to your meal. In general, the more you want or anything, the more illusion you are about that thing, especially physical and material things. To further explain my point, can you ask yourself these questions? Why do you feel that you are gonna get that sexual treat only with that lady you have been noticing for some time and not your wife (Probably u feel you had enough?) or why do you feel that there is something without which you cannot be happy. That thing that steals your smile, happiness and peace is only an illusion of satisfaction. I guarantee you somehow, you will achieve that thing only to realize it has left you rather barren or empty and needing more. The illusion of satisfaction is the moral struggle for many people today and forms an integral part of the problems of greed and corruption many societies face. They all want more, individuals, societies, government, etc. They want more respect, power, control, finance, recognition, women, men, boys, girls, sex, cars, houses, lands, degrees, experiences, etc the list is endless. This illusion for some people becomes so strong that they hardly even remember the things they have and its worth or value. Soon, they no longer see the beautiful face of their wives or the handsome disposition of their husbands, but that which http://www.ishopealive.com/2016/11/topic-102-illusion-of-satisfaction.html |
