Quest.

What is man's quest? Is it for wealth, love, honor, happiness? Perhaps, a lot more. Man may humiliate himself, and degrade himself, in this quest, but he does not give up the quest. When he has wealth, he will think he lacks honor, and be unhappy. When he has honor, he will lack happiness. This is because, one can identify with either honor, or happiness at one time, not both. One cannot be aware of all ones posessions at one time. We will not understand, we will continue to have, loose, and believe in having, and loosing, while we go through the process. We will continue to feel that what we are going through, and what we put others through, is justified. Is it? Is putting others through humiliation, and suffering humiliation, in return, acceptable for gain, which we will eventually forget? What are we looking for? Contentment? If we can identify the fact, perhaps we have it, but we are looking at things which are affording us no contentment. How can we identify contentment, if we have not, or are not experiencing it? We believe it is due to what we possess, or have, but this is a fallacy, because are we content all the time, when we consider what we possess? If one values one's parents, one remembers them equally fondly and regularly, when they have expired, as when they were alive. There are some, who have given up this quest. They do not believe in humiliating ones fellow being, for existence, and die of hunger, as a result, on the footpath. Do we look down on them, because we are not like them, or because they are not like us? Would that not be an error, similar to our quest? Should we improve situations, so that these people, too can live in peace, and not by disbelieving themselves, because they cannot humiliate, like we do?
