Desires

WE WANT WHAT WE CAN'T HAVE. WE DESIRE WHAT WE CAN'T TOUCH. WE TURN AWAY WHAT IS GOOD FOR US. WE LEAVE BEHIND WHAT IS GIVEN TO US. WE FIGHT FOR THE WRONG. WE DISRESPECT THE GOOD. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO STOP RUNNING FROM THE GOOD, AND STOP CHASING THE BAD? WE ALL NEED TO STOP AND LISTEN TO OUR HEARTS, SOUL, AND MIND, AND MAYBE WE WILL START DESIRING WHAT IS GOOD FOR US.
