on longing, briefly
Can one derive satisfaction or some degree of fulfillment from the longing itself? Not in the longing to the degree that it teaches you how to earn what you long for, but truly in the longing itself? Because if you can then you’re positioned to derive fulfillment from both the wanting and the having. In other words, you’re made to be if not change-proof then at least change-resistant. You gain on the wanting and you gain on the having. And to that end, are you not made lastingly fulfilled, even if in a state of perpetual longing?
