Do you find that the more we have is the more we want? What is the reason why some of us thirst for more? It seems like the satisfaction is only temporary.

I was wondering if there is some other reason why we are never truly satisfied

so here is what I came up with....(let me know your thoughts) maybe I am stretching it ah bit

I believe that we all are put on this earth to serve ah purpose, but this is not our permanent home so how can we be truly satifised in a place that were were not meant to be in permanently.

blame it on our carnal nature

yeah we are all human wid passions and appetites

I agree with you and Jins, many of us are so in tuned with self, that we are never satisfied. Times change, when times change, desires change thus we are never satisfied. I guess if we lived in a world that was more accepting of things, and not so into self indulgence all will be well.

I very much agree with Ms.VSD. As the time progresses we tend to also. As we move to different levels in our lifetime, we require more to keep us going. With is why I feel we are never satisfied. Its like we are trained to feel whatever it is we have, there is always something better.

we're also curious creatures...we know that there are many paths that we can take so even when we make a decision we always wonder 'what if'

Exactly.

I believe that certain things are inert...maybe that is also why it is easy to be tempted....temptation can be resisted if there is no desire...but without desire we are not human...lol...could we have been doomed from the get go?

i was watching how the Amish live and seeing how humble dese ppl live

Same thing I was thinking. For example we could be in one of the most *fulfilling relationships in our lives, but in the back of our minds, we will always wonder if their is something better out there. Temptation is a bitch, but if we have mental strength we can fight it. Sometimes we need to realize the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

They feel by living the way they do, they cannot be influenced by the evils of the modern world.

It's society that makes us believe the world is never enough As time goes on I see we make our own heaven and hell. I think if we were in tuned with God and spirituality and kept on track we all might be a little happier. I know when I forget the world and get in tuned with my spirituality I am so happy, the moment I get tempted I go right back to being dissatified. I guess in a form if we are diciplined to know the difference of what I want from what I need, and what I have from those that don't maybe we could all be happier.

Case in point the Amish, they don't live in the world they are not really up to the times, and everyone is equal thus they are humble people that focus on spirituality and life, same can be said about munks.

Thats we must try our best to humble ourselves in some way, and thank the Father for the blessings he bestowed on us thus far. Unfortunately in this day and age it takes real strength of mind to think like that.

For real discipline is the key to many things that lead to

but you being ah christian have the tools to resist and I know that it's hard but I think that we cannot be satisified in this world becuz we were not made for here........we are just here buying our time to move on.....


the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
