Abandoning Futile Endeavors
To
look for total satisfaction in oneself is a futile endeavor. Since
everything changes from moment to moment, where can self and where can
satisfaction be found? Yet these are two things that the whole world is
looking for and it sounds quite reasonable, doesn’t it? But since these
are impossible to find, everybody is unhappy. Not necessarily because of
tragedies, poverty, sickness, or death: simply because of unfilled
desire. Everybody is looking for something that isn’t available.
