How can we ever be satisfied if the pleasure always neutralizes our desire?

How can we ever be satisfied if the pleasure always neutralizes our desire?

[Seeker of Wisdom]

By bestowal. Receiving pleasure from seeing fulfillment in others. When you do not expect anything in return you can be satisfied and freed from the misuse of desire (by having the desire to see others fulfilled).

Temporarily.  When the pleasure subsides than my egoistic desires return.  (I hope I understood the question right)

pretty sure this is why many of us get stuck in dopamine reward feedback loops

[Juan Londono]

If I have a desire to bond with the creator, not for my benefit, but to bring joy and happiness to the creator and the world around me…  The cup can be filled endlessly and the pleasure felt boundlessly.  If your desire is for something great and beautiful like adhesion to God and all of existence the satisfaction is beyond measure when you fulfill this desire.

By expanding our vessel to include the desires of others and their fulfillment.

I think the lack of lasting pleasure and fulfillment is the thing which drives people forward through many attempts to achieve it until we realise there is no fulfillment without the creator. Only He provides lasting pleasure.
