It is said that the desires continuous problems. Maybe so, but if there is no desire - even more problems. Because without desires life it loses all meaning and no purpose. Therefore it is better to have the desire. A desire to have, you have to think about them.
In general, is widely believed that if a person has a desire, and so he knows it. But from my experience I can say that it is not so! Is that the most primitive physiological desires we feel at once. A more complex desires we do come up, what we feel. Desire - is also a kind of creativity, it is necessary to invent them. At the same time it does not need to be limited in these thoughts. Conversely, the more desires - better! Because if a lot of desire, you have at any time will be able to any desire to achieve.
In addition, it is in the process of thinking we are able to clearly articulate what we actually want. Because if we are "something we want, and what - do not know," then such a desire simply impossible to implement. Because it is not clear what exactly to sell. Desires are different. There are large and small desires. Near and far. Simple and complex. His and the public. Materially and morally. In short - what you want. And it makes sense to think about everything. Generally, it is desirable at each time wanting several things at once. Then you can combine different desires. That said, much to with pleasure. Much to be needed including the fact that it desires lead us to action.
After all, if we do not want, then how will we act? Where do we act? What for? That desire to give meaning to our actions. After all, if we do something just like that, without desire, it is some kind of mindless action and can not do. But if we do something because we want something, do something - also begins to want! Generally, one must understand that the desire - it is not only selfish desires. We can choose and altruism and public benefit cases. So do not be afraid to wish for fear of selfishness.
Just want more and good for others! Another interesting connection between desires and depression. Today, many people complain about the so-called "depression." But depression - it's just a lack of desire. More precisely, a situation where we no desire does not come up. In this case, you simply desire to think of myself - and all!
This, of course, can cause internal protest. Is invented desire - to be present? But in fact, no desire is not a desire, if he really did not think of or imagine. One can not choose what is not clear. We can only vaguely feel that something is missing - and all. In reality, of course, something everyone wants. More precisely, they all want to choose.
Because without desires life it loses all meaning and no purpose. But not all want to know how. Because want to really have to be able to. Must be able to come up with their desires. We must be able to represent their wishes. We must learn to not be afraid of their desires, but on the contrary, is very good to explore and to know them.
So - start as often as possible to think about their desires. And then you will know how much you are able to choose. And if you are capable of much want to - then you are capable and do a lot!
