Peron Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death. ~George Bernard Shaw What does George Bernard Shaw, mean by "Satisfaction is death?"
TonyMcC Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I guess he meant death is the end of "wanting". Not wanting anything means you can't be in a state of unsatisfaction. ???
ajb Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 When you are dead you have no wants or desires. This is the only time you will truly be satisfied: that is have no wants. At least this is how I interpret it.
TonyMcC Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Does the road wind up-hill all the way? Yes, to the very end. Will the day's journey take the whole long day? From morn to night, my friend. Grantland Rice I think this quote is somewhat similar in its meaning.
JohnB Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 If all wants are satisfied, there is nothing left to strive for. In a similar way the death of any science will come when it runs out of questions.
