Do you not have time to enjoy life because you chase too many desires, do you feel unhappy because you are incapable of satisfying your desires, or are you overwhelmed by having most choices, feeling regret, reluctance and disappointment that you did not choose the best or that you gave up those choices? This is where desire is at work, control your desires, and imagine what you really want!
A man wanted to get a piece of land, and the landlord said to him: In the early morning, you run from here, run for a while, plant a flagpole, as long as you rush back before the sun sets, the land on the flagpole belongs to you, this man is very happy, do not run forward, the sun is west and not satisfied. The sun had set, and he ran back, but he was exhausted and never got up again when he sat down. While praying at his grave, the priest said, "How much land does a man want?" That's it. ”
Almost any kind of life in the world has desires, except that there is a distinction between complex and simple, primitive and advanced at the level of need. Human desires are mainly composed of physical and spiritual aspects, and satisfying normal desires is the manifestation of human civilization. However, half of desire is angelic, and the other half is demonic. Desire, if well controlled, leads people to heaven, and if it gets out of control, it leads people to hell.
Like the man in the story above, endless greed eventually drains his life, which is the curse of desire. As the saying goes, "Man dies for money, and birds die for food." In life, people will always be aroused by reality to all kinds of desires, such as for pleasure, for fame and fortune, for lust, trapped in the vortex of money, power, beauty and difficult to extricate themselves, and eventually lead to their own destruction.
