Fullness...

"You can never get enough of what you don't need to make you happy." - Eric Hoffer

My latest episode of "The Fattening of America" talks about being full. It's funny sometimes to think that the pharmaceutical companies has a multi-million dollar business in selling antacids, anti-diarhheals, and diet products. Helping to eliminate nature's fullness meter on the one hand and giving false hope of losing what the result of eliminating that signal (fat) on the other.

Does anyone really know what "full" is in their lives? What does it look like? What does it feel like? I think of the big corporate CEOs that make millions in bonuses each year while regular Joe's positions are eliminated. Honestly, what are you going to do with all of that money? Can't take it with you, and I would imagine that acquiring everything your heart desires would get awful boring and tedious after a while.

Read the book of Ecclesiastes sometime, Solomon did just that and found that nothing on this earth can ever satisfy in the long-term.

We need to be satisfied with who we are and what we have first. Then we can work to achieve greater goals in our lives. If we aren't satisfied with who we are(personally/emotionally/mentally/spiritually) - no amount of money in the world will fix that.

Like the freaky woman that constantly has plastic surgery out in California - she has become a grotesque because of her obssession.

"There must be more to life than having everything!" - Maurice Sendak
