Fulfillment is an illusive ghost. It nags at its victim over a simple cup of morning tea; it sends her shivering in the down comfort of night. As the intangible aftertaste of its sister, hope, fulfillment manages to strike down the bearer by reminding her that she is, essentially, unfulfilled. Thus the search for fulfillment often has the opposite effect by leaving the seeker feeling evermore lost and empty than when the quest began. Quests are tricky in that way: once you make your way in you could very well never find your way back out.
Moral to the story? Fully accept the seeming emptiness and one's cup of life will soon find itself copious and ever the more flavorful.
