A Hunger We Can Never Feed
Our greatest gift AND our greatest curse is our imagination for in that we can imagine something something better we are innovative and make progress but in that we can imagine a perfection and a pleasure beyond anything that is feasible we are always miserable and dissatisfied. This is why Bob Dylan sang "I started out on burgundy but soon it was the harder stuff." This is why no one can have their fill of sexual partners or erotic extremes. This is why the Bible speaks of "the wickedness of the imaginings of the heart which knows no boundaries." This is why the Way of the Tao says in the 33rd stanza "that one who finds satisfaction in whatsoever one possesses has achieved true wealth."
