More desire, more disputes

It seems quite sad that human beings absurdly take trivial matters too seriously and make themselves and others unhappy.

Born as a human being, inevitably have a few desires.

But there are degrees of everything, if not restrained, it will become the root of the trouble, affecting the direction of life.

In the process of chasing desires, most people are prone to forgetfulness, sinking into the scramble, thinking that the walk is the winner mode, and finally getting a tragedy, losing themselves in the desire.

1. Under the desire, the reason is all gone

The onlooker is clear, the authorities are confused.

Once a person is in the bureau, it is difficult to see the truth.

Think you are sober but do not know that as early as when you step into the bureau, you are not in control.

The more you try to be sober, the easier it is to lose yourself.

When gambling, people are sober at first, but as the gambling game enters the white-hot stage, everyone's mindset will change to a greater or lesser extent.

Especially those who have been losing will be driven by the desire to win, gambling, again and again, trying to turn over by one, not knowing that it is a bottomless abyss.

A defeat and a loss, often in that uncontrolled gambling, losing over and over again.

It is not gambling that harms people, but human desire that destroys people.

There is a degree of everything, the desire is not restrained, and it is easy to lose all sanity.

By then, it will be too late to regret it.

Therefore, people have to learn moderation to control their desires, not to be controlled by materialistic desires, and be true to themselves.

2. Control desire, is the instinct of the strong

Bernard Shaw said, "Self-control, is the instinct of the strong."

Whenever, people have to learn moderation to feel satisfied with what they have now, otherwise they will easily do unexpected things under the control of their desires.

It is difficult for people to be free of desire, but they can achieve proper moderation.

In most cases, it is not the desire that controls you first, but the desire that you indulge first.

Like modern people spoil their children, not criticizing them after they make mistakes, but rather indulging, even the best children will become bear children.

The same is true of desire, which is the driving force for progress, but after indulgence, it becomes the help of the abyss, pushing people who have lost their minds towards the abyss.

The strong, in contrast to ordinary people, have great control, in turn, are not easily manipulated by a desire to become its puppet.

However, even the strongest people will have weaknesses, once broken, it may be more difficult than ordinary people to stand up again, so the mindset of people is particularly important.

Learn to face desires openly, have the courage to overcome them, and live in harmony with them, rather than having no desires, to achieve a truly strong person.

Desire, but know how to restrain; know how to enjoy, but know the bottom line; know the conspiracy, but maintain justice, appropriate control, and relaxed, to achieve a better self.

3.

Desire, there are disadvantages, but also benefits.

Although the disadvantages outweigh the benefits, but it is not lost as a driving force to move forward.

However, under the desire, it is difficult to be sober.

How many people are driven by a desire to lose themselves, in the process of demanding desire, invisible to set more restrictions on themselves?

Originally with the effort to get, but in turn, lost in the desire.

And in the desire to get, in turn, become the pushers of the abyss.

The more you ask for, the worse the fall.

Corruption and bribery, there will be a second time, just like cheating on the exam, after the benefits will be the next time, holding a fluke mentality, thinking that good luck will always favor them, but did not think that more bad things to do, sooner or later will be retribution.

It's not that the time has not come yet, but when it does, how should I live with myself? If there is no one around to help pull, perhaps the result is a bottomless abyss.

The only way to live your life alone is to not be harmed by your desires.

This is a necessary path in life, all the way through, there will be growth, but I do not know if you end up walking uphill, or downhill.

Bacon said, "The vain man is despised by the wise, admired by the patient, adored by the flatterer, and enslaved to his vanity."

What you want to live as depends on whether you can restrain your desires.

If you desire more than that, disputes will not stop, and more than that will not stop but suffer.

Only when you learn to let go of your desires can you return to your true self.
