Whenever I want something, the unspoken assumption is that once I get this thing, life will be better, my nagging desire will finally cease

It dawned on me this morning that wanting is part of what it means to be alive. Even though we may reach our goals or obtain whatever it is we desire, that wanting is not going to go away. There will always be something else to fixate on. We are all going through life chasing a moving target. At first this can seem rather depressing. Will we never truly reach happiness then?

I just want to know the answer

Keywords: {0}

But even I think for the answer for a long time, I can’t find the right answer. I always thought an important piece is missing and it will take a long time to find it. But still, I will not give up to find the right answer that will satisfy me. I think that having the answer for those questions will prove my existence to the world, I don’t need money or fame to prove it, I just want to know the answer and will pass my knowledge to my children and to my grandkids.

Whenever we fulfill a goal, value comes from two outcomes: changes (usually gains) in resources and satisfaction

Keywords: about writing , my writing , thoughts and reflections , goals , outcomes , writing

Gains in resources don’t have to be monetary — they can be in terms of knowledge and experience. Satisfaction comes from completing goals, and the feeling of that satisfaction differs by where it comes from. The deepest satisfaction comes from satisfying higher-order goals, goals that come from higher values like beauty, truth, and accomplishment.

I want to ‘fill’ the story so that you will be satisfied when you hear it … and that sometimes makes me an untruthful person

I will always tell the truth on this because I see it as my heart on paper and if I lie – even once – on this – then I’m ripping apart my own heart.
