Fulfillment

I've always thought the word fulfilment to be a strange one, its ful and fil squashed together with a little (ce)ment at the end to hold it all together.

It's different for each of us though, right?
And then there is self-fulfilment now this has to be different from normal general fulfilment. I always think of someone achieving a lifetimes ambition or finally getting to wherever it was they were going in life, so they become fulfilled - which again is something entirely different. 

And then there is the whole issue of being fulfilled - are you ever really for more than a second fulfilled? - there is always the next thing around the corner, ambition can play its part here or greed can get involved or just the elements of life.

A serial bank robber who always thinks "just one more job" could be ambitious, certainly not fulfilled and probably a little greedy when it comes down to it.

A person running a successful business might be fulfilled for a second before thinking about grand plans of expansion, so ambition takes over again. 

The poor little blighter, nobody stands a chance of being fulfilled for more than a second with all these other things kicking around.

sure you can be successful, take a journey of self enlightenment, find meaning from the stars or devote yourself to a cause or religion but fulfilment, well that's a different ballgame.

Another fulfilling blog..... or not
Depends on if your full or not, or still hungry I guess? or does it?
