I have joked (see earlier post), that people are easily happy when they get everything they want.
But the real finesse/trick is where nothing is enough.
The most dangerous person might be there person who wants unattainable things. Or who doesn't realize what they want, but is inexorably drawn to it, like an addict.
Reminds me of people who equate what feels good with what is skillful.
Sometimes what is skillful feels good.
Sometimes what is unskillful feels good.
Sometimes what is skillful feels bad.
Sometimes what is unskillful feels bad.
So, that criteria is a dangerous one... to chase what feels good. Remember, revenge feels really good. We've seen countless historical and dramatic examples.
So, to be heedful, careful, in what one wants. This is a very high peace.
I've met many who have been divorced, and their divorce was mainly because they chose uncarefully. Remember, everyone is nice when they get what they want. But how do they react when stifled.
To see these things is real spiritual wealth. Something king's and thieves and illness cannot take away.
