Do you think that, if you found what you believe to be the perfect mate (job, environment etc.), you would consider it wonderful... forever? The excitement of reaching the object of your craving, according to human nature, tends to transform itself: at first, into a more relaxed feeling, then acceptance comes in, followed by a sense of entitlement. Afterwards all is transformed into a habit and finally... boredom. It seems that human beings are not built to be capable of total contentment. As everything is temporary, all is bound to change. Both positive and negative feelings will be transformed, in a way or another. So, happiness, serenity, fulfillment do not depend on outside circumstances, situations, people or things. They must be nursed inside yourself, through the never-ending pursuit of spiritual progress.
