Document Summary

Premise 1: if there is an immanent meaning of life, it must be possible for the satisfaction of desire to outweigh the frustration of desire in life. Premise 2: it"s not possible for the satisfaction of desire to outweigh the frustration of desire in life. For every satisfaction of desire in life, there"s at least one (typically more) frustration in life. The satisfaction of desire is rarely as pleasant (i. e. as intense) as we expected, and the frustration of desire is frequently more painful that we expected. The pleasure involved in the satisfaction of desire is typically very brief and quickly gives rise to boredom (which is another sort of frustration of desire).
