Fulfillment

In recent conversations that I have had or listened to I have been struck by the observation that other people place value, care about and focus on events like T.V., cars, work related issues or the condition of their yard. I actively participate in many of those activities and frequently enjoy them but place little value on them, finding them to be transient and hollow. I do focus and find fulfillment in love, connection and relationships, things that, in my view, have some eternal value. In the words of Dubay, S.M.. "The unending yearnings of the human spirit are satisfied by nothing that can be measured, seen, heard or touched. To focus selfishly on anything in the created order is to be restricted and thus to fall that far short of full freedom."
