DESIRES - by Huberto Rohden
Our desires are our executioners... The shorter is the
distance between what man wants and what man has, lower is his misery... our
unhappiness increases in direct proportion to the distance between the object
coveted and the object possessed.
The simple man is happy, because his desires are few, has more
or less everything he wants...
With knowledge, increases the idea of I want - and this I want
creates new distances, new misfortunes...
However, this concern will not be better than that
dissatisfied complacent stillness?...
Will not be better and nobler to suffer for an ideal, even
unattainable, than to stand in the little everyday realities at
hand?...
Man is a lot more his faraway ideal than his immediate
reality; he is more of what would be, in his deep and abiding attitude, than
what he is in his superficial and transient acts.
