The Eye Is Not Satisfied with Seeing
The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
What did I strain to see and hear more of today — and what remained at the end of it?
📝Reflection
The finger of our age, endlessly scrolling the screen in our palm, was already seen by a Preacher three thousand years ago. The eye and ear are organs that know no satisfaction. See one thing and you want the next; they do not fill but widen. It is precisely the observation the Buddha made saying "there is no fire like greed." The point is not to stop seeing and hearing. Knowing that the eye and ear were made "never to be filled," we learn to stop ourselves with "this is enough," instead of the vain labor of filling them.
🌱Apply It Today
While scrolling today, pause once to ask: "Am I filling right now, or only widening?"
This verse is read as universal humanistic wisdom, not religion — no faith is promoted, and the reflection is 100% original ONGO content.
