If your desires were to come to fruition would you be satisfied or would it create an empty space inside?

Question

Are having the things of material wants better than having the things of inner peace and spiritual calm, do we want of others as we want others to want of us, or do we want for others to want for us a question of perplexity I have concidered and can say that each individual can only know ones true answer by deeply searching your inner person.

Answer 1

Life is propelled by the discomforts of need sense and comforted to peace when they are filled to their demand. Life is that cycle and repeats. Something is ours finally when we reject it, but truly our human essence is not ours to reject as our will is not something to be rejected from our nature. We are in the abstract mode of thought reflexions of each other (universality of essence), but of different times and memories (caprice). Normality is something we normalize to, our will normalized rather than normalizing. We may try to normalize others according to our individual moment, but that moment is incomplete. Otherwise we would have omniscience of others, but we have not.

The negation for that negation (that empty space) IS the fruition of our desires expression in personal action. The passing moment is expectation for the next.

III. Absolute Freedom & Terror (1)

Φ 582. CONSCIOUSNESS has found its notion in the principle of utility. But that notion is partly an object still, partly, for that very reason, still a purpose, of which consciousness does not yet find itself to be immediately possessed. Utility is still a predicate of the object, not a subject, not its immediate and sole actuality. It is the same thing that appeared before when we found that self-existence (being-for-self) had not yet shown itself to be the substance of the remaining moments, a process by which the useful would be directly nothing else than the self of consciousness and this latter thereby in its possession.

This revocation of the form of objectivity which characterizes the useful has, however, already taken effect implicitly, and as the outcome of this immanent internal revolution there comes to light the actual revolution of concrete actuality, the new mode of conscious life-absolute freedom.

Answer 2

If my desires were to come to fruition, I would be satisfied I guess. That's for the carnal self. The rest are deep thoughts to ponder. Perplexities, indeed. Inner peace and spiritual calm, is hard to achieve unless you're in touch with your spiritual self. and innermost thoughts. I would want for others to want us.Sometimes, I feel this void inside of me. I should talk and pray to God more often . Go to this site and enjoy a moment of composure, meditation and enjoyment of the sublime. I got it from somebody over here.

Answer 3

This is the central idea of Buddhism. Buddha thought long on this and concluded that we suffer because we make our "non-suffering" or happiness contingent on things outside of ourselves; things that are temporary in nature and that all things (except God) are temporary, or at least in a constant state of change. To free ourselves from suffering we must break this chain of events, and he developed the eighfold path as a way of doing that. Approach it as an idea rather than a religion. It's pretty interesting.

Answer 4

it is a good poem. exciting that it really is so passionate, given the poet's position on pastime. i anticipate the irony is meant. i'm no longer particular about the "pay with our brains" line. i will ought to imagine about what which skill. The "lie...on promenade nighttime" is concrete and concise and heartbreaking. i found the superb verse to have extra wonder value than substance. The "promenade nighttime" line, for my section, will be a extra efficient ending. you've suggested what you want to assert, and suggested it nicely - i do not want a precis. again, an impressive poem. submit extra.

Answer 5

One thing I know to be fact, is that our species feeds on greed.

That said,,,One can never satisfy a monster by feeding it,,,,we only cause it to be more hungry.

Certainly there are levels of satisfaction and contentment, but so often they lead to inane questions like "OK now what?" AND/OR,,,"What if"
