"In the end one loves one's desire and not what is desired."
At first looking at this quote I sat in my reflection as confused as ever. Although I am usually good at figuring these things out and understanding them, I could not get this one at the start. After a few minutes it came to me and struck me significantly. To me this makes me think of when people get too obsessed with what they desire and that feeling of desire becomes their obsession. They begin to no longer love the actual thing that they desire, they only love the desiring feeling. When this begins to occur, the desire deserving of love is ignored and one's priorities get knocked off track. After some time of only desiring the desire, one loses the desire able feeling because they no longer love what is desired. To prevent this corruption of love and desire, I can reevaluate the things that I desire and make certain that I truly share love for those things. By doing this, I will also benefit the things and people that I love. Nothing can go wrong.
