We all long for satisfaction. More often than not dashed hopes and frustrated efforts leave us wondering if it is a phantom appetite – forever defying fulfillment. Broken promises, shattered relationships, lost jobs, unfulfilled hopes, dreams and aspirations – they mock us over past failures and our inability to lay hold of the satisfaction we long for.
