Philosophical Grammar 108

108. Fulfillment of expectation doesn’t consist in some third thing’s happening, such as a feeling of satisfaction.

‘fulfillment of expectation’?

an expectation is a proposal –

and any description of what occurs – with respect to a proposal –

will be open to question – open to doubt

fulfillment – is in the same boat  –

any genuine fulfillment is uncertain

and you ask – what sort of fulfillment is that?

well it’s as good as it gets –

and if you think you can have complete fulfillment –

then you are simply – denying logical reality –

and opting for delusion

I have no argument with this –

there is much to be said for delusion

however I think one should be clear about what is what

as to ‘feelings of satisfaction’ –

well the short answer is –

feelings come and go
