Document Summary
Conversion (to who they want you to be) Not everything that comforts you is good for you. What makes the difference between choosing something that"s bad for you and something that"s good for you is how upset you are (how much comfort you need; driven by urges) Anxiety is a lack of comfort that feels urgent. Myth of satisfaction: food offers comfort (e. g. gum will never run out) When we need comfort it"s because we aren"t where we need to be. Addiction is a search for immediate comfort driven by urgency. Praying can be seen as a ritual or as an addiction: a prayer can comfort you for 5 minutes or all day. Satisfaction defined as the absence of any concerns at all (this is a coma) Perfection = death (the woman is satisfied when she dies with a smile on her face 1950s) Peter is dissatisfied: what is he going to do now that he"s back from.
