      If this were not so,  we would not be motivated by new desires for pleasure just beyond our reach.

      We would be stunting our ability to learn (satisfaction), and grow from ego to spirituality.

      Maybe we need to work on our desires.

      That’s a challenge I’d like to overcome.

        Pleasure neutralizes our desires if we are only receiving. By having a desire to bestow, the pleasure is not neutralized.

      It can never be done in our present egoic nature and that can only be changed by the Creator

      This can only be experienced through the fulfillment of others. when our desire is to fullfill the desires of others and then we feel happiness
