Desire
I have fought many years against desire. It was like a workout. Then I have realized that
desire as such was not the problem, the problem was me.
Want something, one thing - that is a being, a fact or an object - is natural for humans.
Sometimes you want what we already have and say "have" as if to say "you already have
it. Because often we want what is already written that we will have.

Desire and Longing

Idiomatic expressions:
To leave a lot to be desired
To have the desired effect
He expressed a desire to see her
Desirable woman
We are desirous of your succes
Etc.

Often I have wondered that have meant Heraclitus fragment 110 which some translate as
- "It is not good for humans to achieve everything they want" [Luis Farre], other like "No they would be better men if anything they want, something they get "[Juan David
Garcia Bacca], other like -".. is no better for men than they are fulfilled as they wish
"[Angel Cappelletti], others as -" Not for the best men who few things will happen
"[Agustin Garcia Calvo] - when Heraclitus only warns." It is not good that fulfills all one
wants. "
In ancient Greek [transliterated] fragment 110 sounds like this: ANTRPOIS gignesthai
HOKSA THLOYSIN OYK AMEINON
This THLOYSIN is translated as "want" - and refers to Thelos that is a goal, a purpose
for which humans wish to reach or achieve something they crave. ANTROPOIS is a
dative. The key to this mystery reveals Mohyddin Ibn Arabi in his Futuhat to lure
attention to the existential difference between a "want" and want something, and between
desire and the "craving something." Says this wise Sufi often we instilled in the mind a
sort of desire because since what you want is written on the fate occurred and retro echo
hatching and updating in the future is captured and updated as it was a desire of desiring.
However this kind of desire is called "craving" something you have, something to be
held, it is written in your destiny. If it is not written, what you want to pay with blood,
money, health or momentary loss of freedom.

We want and have what we want. But it will not be in a trice. Much water must pass
under the tap and many sacrifices have work to be done.

The important thing is to fight against the tendency to sell his soul to the devil, to want
what we want and it has to be now, regardless of time & space.
This is the secret: little by little we have, you will have what you want and if you do not
have it, it is that do not correspond yet or ypu plainly do not deserve it yet.
Strive for it, do not mess it. Be wise.
The antidote of that annoyed sensation is faith.
