      Maybe by me giving from my heart. When I see others uplifted and know this pleases the creator keeps me going. Love is very satisfying and there is an endless source of that from the creator.

      We shouldn’t be satisfied because we need the desires for satisfaction to give us motivation to build our desires to correct our egoism. I love the EGO Formula: Expected pleasure minus expected effort = pleasure>effort=movement; as effort>pleasure=no movement.
