On Appetites

Many people think that life is about satisfying their appetites. If they earn enough money to live the way they want - they think they are "living the good life." But such things do not satisfy our deepest longings in life. In the end, they leave us empty and dissatisfied. Real life comes from total commitment to God. It requires discipline, sacrifice and hard work - which is why most people never find it. Those things run contrary to satisfying any of our human appetites.
