240711 What I learned in my studies this morning 4

Today's Meditation(s):

Discourses, 4.1.46 (Waterfield)

If I get what I want, will that make me happy? Will I be satisfied? 

Will I now worry it will be taken from me? Perhaps stolen or repossessed by my benefactor?

Will my desires merely be inflamed and grow to encompass more and more, leaving me more and more dissatisfied because now I am missing even grander things which, I know, I just must make part of my life?

Or will I only be happy when I learn to want to what I get?
