Value of Desire

Of many I can see, in our lives, we tend to value everything that comes and goes, whether it is a material object or not. As long as there is a desire for that, its value is too high. Still, we fail to realize the truth about it: the value we assign is purely fictional and momentary, and it can affect our decisions and then cause a lot of pain – again, another valuation.

The problem is simple. We tend to value everything; that’s the problem, but these days we’ve gone even further: we value the feelings too. There are so many failed loves, marriages, friendships; the reason is simple: we valued the relationship at one point, and our valuation is purely fictional depending on the desire for other things. You can see now why the problem is: we don’t value them depending on their value, but we value them depending on the desire for other things.

Desire causes us to value things; if you ask me, it would be a mistake to do so. The world around you, and the people and they, are all part of the same thing – life. Assigning values to them will only make life more complicated and painful. Take it all, give it all.
