Wealth is like seawater; the more you drink, the more thirsty you become. Fame is actually the same. Happiness is merely a temporary respite from desire. Money and fame are like salty seawater; the more you pursue them, the more addictive they become. But even after you get them, you still feel empty; you never get enough. For example, after earning $100,000, you want $1,000,000. After becoming an internet celebrity, you want even more. People are constantly driven by desires: the desire to buy things, the desire to succeed. Only when a desire is temporarily satisfied, such as eating a craving or achieving a goal, do they feel a brief sense of relief and happiness. But soon, a new desire will arise.
