What happens when we stop seeking fulfillment?

[Anonymous]

Do we find it by saturating our lowered standard? Do we work actually harder to find it because we don't sense it?

Wow. "Be the first guy to share an opinion and earn 3 more Xper point!" So GaG is making it easier to level up? It used to give one extra point. ﾠ

Depends if by "fulfilment" you mean "ambition" or the "carnal," as the former is fine provided you are not unjust, and your intent is good.

Death. "The price of sin is death"

What do you mean? Not seeking fulfillment is sin? If anything religion teaches you not to seek fulfillment. Such as, caring for yourself and having sex, is fulfilling, as we are biologically wired to. But religion calls it "selfish". So my question is if we stop seeking i. e. reproduction (which is one of the most fulfilling acts) and basically become like monks avoiding pleasure. What happens to our life? Is there a purpose to live? Do we become MORE goal oriented because pleasure (synonymous to fulfillment) is not distracting us?

The first Law is create or die. If everyone gave up sex what do you think what happen to human kind? Sex is a create act and a very creative emotion.

One cannot eliminate the sex urge. One can shape their environment and mind to focus never on it but it can never be truly eliminately because it is innate.

If you aren't growing you are dying. In order to achieve you must seek. Seeking fulfillment is an innate urge and only stops fully at physical death.

If one directs, not turn off, all urge of fulfillment toward 1 definite end in an organized fashion then the reward will be so. They will certain grow and achieve.

So what's the difference between pleasure and fulfillment? Is there none?
