Replying to a comment on:

Never born. (Free verse) by | Broken |

It's really weird When you cannot grasp something which is right beside you Something which is just a breath away Just inches from where you are standing now It seems to get farther away The moment you reach out for it The moment you long for it It just scampers off Living you all alone In solitude Then you start to wonder Whether it's all real Whether everything seems to be too good to be true Or just something virtual Are you actually living in your fantasies? Planning about your perfect life Imagine that it could happen Just hoping and wishing That everything will turn out right for you The way you always dream it to be In that deep corner of your heart You know that it would never happen Everything's fake .. You are fated to live life this way You never get all the sweetest things in life .. Sweet? Yeah .. But consider it sweet nothings that will never end .. Are you brave enough to look at your reflection for another day .. It won't be that much long now .. When you're tired of it .. And you just wish that .. You were never born in this world.

<The best satisfactions on earth are lacking something compared to what?> Compared to a deep inner sense that something more must be available - That's the feeling expressed by CS Lewis and others. He would not be satisfied with saying "my circumstances make me about as happy as any human being on earth." That would not be the high endpoint of satisfaction for him. He cannot know the level of satisfaction of other humans, and feels that if his good marriage and other pleasures seem lacking an unknown element, then it is probable that the missing thing is only available outside of human interactions. Unlike you, his satisfactions were not right in line with his expectations because yours are logically derived while his were sensual.
