Promises of satisfaction
Have you ever looked around and realized that the world is just replete with promises of satisfaction? Think about it!
Blockbuster movies, parties with friends, breakaway shopping sprees, travel trips, hunting for music, chasing good books, enjoying food, and all the colorful product advertisements everywhere - do they not all target at our search for satisfaction? And the world is just full of such promises of satisfaction - that it is blinding.
Many of them are short-lived. Some of them are lies. We all know. Yet it is easy to get lost, and in the process, all we end up thinking and speaking of is about ourselves. All of this is like "a chasing after the wind", as the book of Ecclesiastes aptly puts it.
There is much more to say, but I'll stop. It actually takes some effort to think about this in the context of our personal lives (yours and mine)! But tell me what you think.
