Unsatisfied Longings MYP 370

The continual craving for pleasurable amusements reveals the deep longings of the soul. But those who drink at this fountain of worldly pleasure will find their soul-thirst still unsatisfied. They are deceived; they mistake mirth for happiness; and when the excitement ceases many sink down into the depths of despondency and despair. O what madness, what folly, to forsake the “Fountain of living waters” for the “broken cisterns” of worldly pleasure!—Fundamentals of Christian Education, 422. MYP 370.2
