%CONCEIVE FIND ACHIEVE ACCEPT ENJOY BEING SATISFIED 891021

     Communities  and their members differ in their levels
of  satisfaction and enjoyment because they differ in  how
they  seek  to conceive,  find,  achieve,  accept  and  be
satisfied  in their communal and  personal  relationships.
Differences  with regards to what is considered as normal,
proper, natural,  and essential play major roles in levels
of satisfaction enjoyed.

     In some people's  conceptions  satisfaction  is to be
achieved through determined effort to achieve preconceived
goals  which  are regarded as essential  to  satisfaction.
Such   people  are  often  preoccupied  with  manipulative
techniques by which they can achieve control of  processes
which  are regarded as essential means to the  achievement
of satisfaction.

     To other people satisfaction is to be found through a
search as in a journey to a satisfying place.  They expect
to  find satisfaction in somewhat the same manner that one
might discover an enchanted island where everyone is happy
because of the mystical character of the place.

     There  are also people who hope to enjoy satisfaction
while  letting go and letting God guide them according  to
the  divine  will to offer heavenly satisfaction to  those
who  accept  it on heavenly terms.  They do not strain  to
achieve, manipulate or control.  They seek to be receptive
towards the goods which God offers,  and which with wisdom
they may accept with satisfaction.  They often enjoy their
imperfect lives with more satisfaction than those who seek
to  enjoy  satisfaction through achievements  and  perfect
fulfillment of their desires.

     Some   people  expect to  enjoy   satisfaction   upon
completing their journey;  in a final state of  completion
and satisfaction. They are often disappointed to find that
satisfaction   is  not  perpetual  upon   completions   of
journeys,  yet they do not change their preconceptions  of
what it will be like at the ends of their journeys.

     Other  people  expect  to enjoy satisfaction  in  the
company  of others on their journeys;  as they progress as
pilgrims  together in each other's friendly company.  They
seek  to  be and make friends on their journeys,   and  to
enjoy intimate dialogue with each other on the way.   They
often  find,  accept,  and enjoy what they seek.  In  each
other's  intimate  company they find the wisdom  which  is
needed to be satisfied with integrity.

     Some  people  try  so  hard  to  achieve  their   own
satisfaction   that  they  can  not  be   satisfied   with
integrity.   What they seek to achieve cannot be  achieved
with  integrity;  and so cannot be enjoyed with integrity.
The  way they seek to achieve satisfaction is  essentially
disintegrative,   because it does not demonstrate  respect
for other people's integrity.  Real satisfaction cannot be
enjoyed  through disintegrative processes.  When they  are
faced  with  integrative processes they turn away to  seek
satisfaction   in  disintegrative  processes  which   they
conceive   for   the  purpose  of  achieving   their   own
satisfaction.    Their   efforts  are  futile   in   their
sophistication and resource consumptive elegance.

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
