What is that every person in this world wants? Is it money?
Or resources? Or sympathetic and empathetic emotional support, which provides
confidence to a person who is already down in life? It depends; on the outside,
a scrooge may want more money, a scavenger may want more waste material to
scavenge, a politician wants more scandals to scandalize the opposition party,
etc. But, on scrutiny, one can find out the underlying themes of all these
wants. What these people are looking for is a temporary satisfaction; the main
object of satisfaction is yet to be identified by them.
The scrooge, scavenger, politician, etc, are all wanting
something which when given and consumed satisfies ‘something else’ what they
cherish most. They are ready to scamper around the whole world in search of what
they want with their scrupulous scintillating ideas. However, do they get what
they want? Although the resources in the world are scanty, there is a chance
that they may get what they are looking for; but, again, it provides them a
temporary satisfaction, not a permanent one because they are yet to identify the
main object of their satisfaction. For example, a navigator looking at a
seascape picture gets some sort of happiness as he knows about it and wants to
be there. But, what gives him ultimate satisfaction is when he sails in the
sea. Similarly, a politician might not be made happy if someone tries to scotch
the scandalous rumors around him; only when the rumor origin is eliminated, he
can be happy.
In summary, instead of looking or aiming for the immediate
object of satisfaction, if people think and understand the underlying reason and
aim for the main object of satisfaction, their lives will be more fulfilling.
