You must have noticed an outstanding characteristic of every end that the ego has accepted as its own. When you have achieved it, it has not satisfied you. This is why the ego is forced to shift ceaselessly from one goal to another, so that you will continue to hope it can yet offer you something.

（小我所接受的每个目的，其特征必会令你侧目。当目的达成后，却从未满足过你。为此之故，小我不得不持续不断转移目标，使你继续怀着希望，期待它有一天会带给你一些东西。） （Text-8 VIII.2:5)
