Everlasting & Intimacy

Why spend so much money for TEMPORARY satisfaction/pleasure/entertainment,
when you can spend absolutely NOTHING for PERMANENT, everlasting, infinite satisfaction?

This is what I see happening recently in my campus life.
We are now in our final semester of our final year.
So... many activities, hangouts & adventure has been organized because time is now limited for us.
Reasons for the activities?
To have enjoyment time TOGETHER.
To build better RELATIONSHIP with one another before leaving campus life.
To gain EXPERIENCE

So...
Enjoying after all the struggling for 4 years?
Meaning not enough enjoyment for the previous years?
Then, how long will these recent enjoyment last?

All the activities organized recently...
How long will the memory last?
How long will the satisfaction last?
From the pattern, we seem to continue to organize more and more activities..
So, what does this mean?
The previous activity did not provide enough satisfaction.

Eveytime immediately after an activity, we will feel the full satisfaction.
Then, after a few days... what happen?
The satisfaction is gone.


Why spend so much money for TEMPORARY satisfaction/pleasure/entertainment,

Another reason is to get experience.
That is a really good reason.
But I dont think it is the 1st priority for most of us.

Then, the next reason is to improve relationship with one another.
Quality time?
Ok...
After all these activities.. how much closer you get with your friends?
Just a bit only, rite?
Why?

Psychologically,
activities done in big groups of people will only help very little in relationship.
That is why a boyfriend and girlfriend go dating.
Dating is only between the two persons.
And it is the best way to improve true relationship with one another.
The best way to really get to know the true character of a person is through one-to-one conversation.

In a group, we will only get information... we dont get better relationships.

So, in the end, what's the purpose of outings and activities?
The only good reason is to get experience...
Other than that,
If you go outing for pleasure and satisfaction... no need to go ... because it will just last a few days.
If you go outing for quality time with your friends... no need... because in a group, people usually do not show their TRUE character.
it's better to spend private time with each one of them, privately, then you will really get to know the REAL person... and your relationship with that person will improve A LOT.

True intimacy happens ONLY when you spend private time with another person.

Why spend so much money for TEMPORARY satisfaction/pleasure/entertainment,
when you can spend absolutely NOTHING for PERMANENT, everlasting, infinite satisfaction?

The answer is Jesus. He gives the permanent satisfaction; no need money at all.

And there are many helpless people around us that needs money.
So, try not to spend too much for temporary things.
