We [Simply] Love God With God's Own Love - Meister Eckhart

How in the world can a person with a broken leg continue to try and walk and not experience pain? And yet put plainly and simply, people's hungers, and wants, and cravings, and ambitions are most certainly an injury to both one's psychology and society. We try and justify our desires, dividing them into good and bad, justified and unjustified, reasonable and unacceptable. But yearning itself is always by its very nature insidious. Our desires themselves creates pain. Coming up with justifications for our wishes creates pain. Wanting to be rid of them creates pain. Wishing they were all behind us creates pain. Yearning to not have desires through our own annihilation creates pain. Promoting substitutes for this brokenness through serenity or inactivity or quietude creates pain. In short, wanting cannot stop itself from wanting; it is an ongoing and out of control damage from which it cannot extract itself. Our egos can never bring us to peace - even when we desire that which is good - because the plans and implementations and results of each are by definition cut off from reality.
