Being Pleased will never make me happy.
I am never happy being pleased, just pleased.
Being pleased is better than being displeased but it is not true happiness.
Expecting to be pleased is a constant source of displeasure.
It is also being greedy.
Greedy people expect others to please them.
They need other people’s emotional energy and receive it by being pleased by other people.
I please needy people in the expectation of being pleased in return.
My disappointed expectation will result in my displeasure.
The more I please others, the less happy I am because the more displeasure I experience.
The only way to ensure my pleasure is by controlling the authority and choice of those who I need to please me.
To receive the emotional energy that I need from another requires my authority and influence over them.
When the authority and choice of my ego self is followed by another, I am being pleased.
