Beguiling Gut Feeling

Have you ever experienced a very strong gut feeling towards something or someone? You just "knew" that you had to have that something or be with that someone. The feeling was so strong that you could not avoid doing whatever necessary to achieve your goal. Finally, you succeeded. Later, after the immediate jubilation, you started noticing that the outcome of your "achievement" was not what you had expected. You realized that the something you had been longing for was incapable of giving you true satisfaction, that the someone you "just knew" would make you happy, was not up to the job. Disappointment starts creeping into your awareness and your life seems a failure (without any fault on your part). You did your best, you followed your intuition. Yet, you were sort of "betrayed" by Life. Is this fair? Absolutely not! Is this a mysterious reality to be accepted? Totally... yes! (If you want to survive in an acceptable way.)
