 %HUMAN SATISFACTION DESIRE EXPECTATION EXPERIENCES 881225

     Human   satisfaction   entails   a   match    between
desires/expectations and experiences.

     Dissatisfaction leads to efforts to change that which
is  perceived  as  responsible  for  the  dissatisfaction:
objective circumstances,   the nature of  reality,   human
nature,     specific   people's   behavior,     attitudes,
communications;     one's   own   behavior,     attitudes,
communications.  Only some of such efforts tend to lead to
increased satisfaction.    Wise people are the people  who
quickly  learn  form   their  experiences,  to know  which
kinds    of   efforts  lead  to  increased   satisfaction.
Unwise people do not learn from their experiences,  and do
not  know  which  kinds   of  efforts  lead  to  increased
satisfaction.

     Addicts,  codependents and colluders are not open and
honest  about their own behaviors and experiences.    They
do   not  learn  from  their  experiences, and do not know
which  kinds  of  attitudes and  behaviors  on their  part
lead   to increased  satisfaction.      They make mistakes
and do not learn  from their own mistakes, because they do
not admit to having  made mistakes,  they do not own their
own    mistakes.     They      believe      that     their
dissatisfaction  originates   in     other's    attitudes,
behaviors,    communications,    the nature   of  reality,
human nature, fate, etc.  They do not notice that so  long
as  they  themselves  do    not change,  the   degree   of
their  own   satisfaction   does   not  change  for    the
positive;       but  rather continues to  change  for  the
negative.
