Compulsion Patterns

We are constantly changing things around us. For example, many people change job, change house, change car, change wife, change everything, but does that lead them to any sort of satisfaction or fulfilment? No. We played with small toys when we were young. We play with bigger toys now. The underlying pattern has remained the same.

The underlying pattern, which makes us act without revealing itself is a compulsion pattern. Giving into our compulsion patterns leads only to boredom and suffering. The more we give into such patterns, the compulsion becomes stronger and stronger.
