All Rivers Run to the Sea, Yet It Is Never Full
All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is never full.
What sea am I trying to fill, pouring in river after river that never rests?
📝Reflection
A sea that never fills however much you pour — is there a more exact portrait of human desire? The Buddha said craving "grows like a creeping vine," and this Preacher called it "a sea never full." We think that with more earned, more climbed, more owned, we will finally be satisfied; but the moment the river arrives, the sea widens by just that much. The problem is not the volume of water but the structure of the sea. That there is a contentment filling can never reach — this realization is what first halts the rivers.
