Satisfaction
Contrary to what might seem intuitive, satisfaction is not found in the abundance of pleasure. Neither is meaning. In these pleasures, we find only that what we expected to be satisfactory is, in fact, not only incapable of satisfying the need and multiplies the desire itself. The good things of life are merely allusions to a deeper good, and the cavity in our soul that creates this infinite, often misunderstood, longing can not be filled by the mere finite pleasures of this life. Only an infinite pleasure can fill an infinite void, and to accept anything less is to settle for mere fractions of what true satisfaction can deliver.
I am becoming more and more convinced of this fact, but have yet to fully know, in the Biblical sense, this truth. To let go of a trivial good in the hope and promise of a bigger good can be a difficult thing.
