"Lack of inner fulfillment," I too would say is a prime motivator in searching for happiness and acceptance outside of myself (i.e. material possessions, career, relationships). As I strive for more inner fulfillment, the less external sources I need or depend on for happiness and inner peace. Thanks for stopping by! Kevin,

There is some cognitive science work that suggests that people are primarily motivated to either seek pleasure or avoid pain (i.e. fear).. I think both motivations are primarily motivated by a lack of inner fulfillment and knowledge that the self can be experienced as unbounded. Enjoyed your fresh insights though, particularly liked your realization about Fear being reactionary. I'll have to stick around and read some more of your stuff. You are a great writer!
