Fulfillment is not happiness.
Happiness is an emotion that is transient based on a certain situation or circumstance - a neurotransmitter chemical messages the receptor sites to change the persons state. It’s like eating a packet of potatoe chips for the shear momentary joy - delighting in the precisely engineered snack food created with the most skillfully trained scientist, at the lowest cost, for maximum profit - that provides the levels of crunch, saltiness and fat the heighten your taste buds and have your mouth salivate like Pavlovs dog. It then after a period of time when the bodys own systems kick in, your brain will provide a sensation that its overdone leading to nausea,, a stomach in knots and a sense of justified guilt.
Fulfillment on the other hand is a slowly cooked home meal made with love, care and attention that when eaten nutrients every cell with its sustainable energy flow.
A solution to the unfulfilled life can start when you recognise that at some point in your life, your dreams didn’t match up to your reality
Most People live comfortably waiting to die.
Comfortably going from one moment of certainty to the next, not exploring, not reaching, not experiencing anything out of the ordinary as to not dare invade that space of uncertainty, work, suffering, hardship, anxiety which could be the doorway to something better. Better the devil you know? Don’t be sure about that. You will grow older and the circumstances will get worse - believe me - and the malevolence will grow inside your aging mind like a cancer remunerating on paths not taken, choices of ease and words not said. The growing sadness in the world can be seen all around behind the electronic portraits we hold to the world we hold so dear - the digital age that promised us so much, yet we are humans with the same biological makeup to our fellow beings thousands of years past, yet living with God like technology engineered to target our inner most desires.
