Wanting, desiring, fearing, buying, spending, amassing, consuming, having to have, acquiring, striving, pushing, wanting… When does it stop? When do we sit quietly, take stock, see what we are doing? Know what’s what and what’s happening and what is called for in each situation as it arises and do that when, where and how it needs to be done no matter what, using the gifts of our original nature, our inherent intuition, our inherent virtues (The things we do best and enjoy doing most) and our intrinsic imagination? Wanting, etc, takes up all our time, consumes our energy, commandeers our thoughts, robs us of our life and leaves us in the company of the wrong kind of emptiness with the likes of Adam and Eve. No?
