Statherian |
| What it means to be fully human is to strive to live by ideas and ideals |
| And not to measure your life by what you’ve attained in terms of your desires |
| but |
| Those small moments of integrity, compassion, rationality… because in the end, |
| the only way that we can measure the significance of our own lives |
| Is by valuing the lives of others |
| Fantasies have to be unrealistic |
| Because the moment, the second that you get what you seek, you don’t, |
| you can’t want it anymore |
| In order to exist, desire must have its objects perpetually absent |
| It’s not the 'it' that you want, its the fantasy of 'it' |
| We are only truly happy when daydreaming about future happiness |
| This is why we say: the hunt is sweeter than the kill, or: be careful what you |
| wish for — not because you’ll get it: because you’re doomed not to want it once |
| you do |
| Living by your wants will never make you happy |
