Description
To want is weak, a worry spent too often in the inquiry for greatness. We strive for perfection too boldly, and for ignorance too meekly. We seek power and love and ecstasy in life, while accepting avarice and lust with no second thoughts. By knowing our flaws too well, we invite ourselves to admire those that discard them and ignore those that don't. Must we so easily abandon ourselves? Man sees desire as an unconquerable thing too often for it to become anything but a self-prophesying device of irony. He sees its defeat as inhuman, superb, triumphal to the point of revered heroism. He is noxious to his own freedom, allying will with an existing reality already plagued by the loop. To want is not so certainly weak, but weak men want too strongly. We endeavor to transform ourselves without making an effort, to attain without analyzing our needs.To require is repulsive, but only in the most passive sense. Yearning is a curse, and the fault can only be our own.
Understanding is wise, and acceptance is brave, but change... change is braver.
