I keep talking about fulfillment. People keep telling me they like making people happy. I believe emotions are…
- temporary – here and gone in 15 seconds… think: laughing at a funeral
- irrational
- not controllable – by one’s self, let alone by entertainment creators.
- beautiful gifts
- equal in importance – there are no good or bad feelings, they’re all wonderful in life’s garden ( or whatever )
For these reasons, feelings are terrible goals.
Fulfillment is a mindset
It’s not a feeling. It’s possible to lead others to a mindset. It’s possible to decide to be in a mindset. Mindsets are great goals. Fulfillment / satisfaction is a wonderful thing to achieve in entertainment. It sticks, it infects other experiences, it’s manageable, and it’s expandable.
