Clear of Desires

Have you ever had a lot of Desires? From one considered taboo which is sex to the most basic like eating food and wanting to be loved?

Have you on the other hand desired to be clear of such desires?

That all you wanted is a clean life and a righteous one?

I wish I could wish.

These desires are the ultimate test for us to sin or not to sin.

When we desire and lack the virtues such as patience, integrity, honesty and the like, tendency is we are going to resort to sinning and doing sorts of things just so we attain our desires.

Disclaimer: The things I am writing here are based on how I understand things and I am not an expert in the field of whatever. I am just a regular person wanting to express.

So, as I was saying, desiring things may lead us to sin if we aren't in possession of virtues that we usually learn when we are young.

I want to be void of sexual desires. In my life now, I already have enough experience on most things and what's important for me nowadays is survive until the day I die a normal death.

Actually, I want to live longer. I want to experience having enough savings and tour around the world.

But then, it's a natural thing for a human being to feel lonely, exhausted, fed up, happy, in love, angry, and so on and so forth.

And I am not an exception.

I wish I could get rid of such desires but I know one time or another, I will be craving for humanly desires.

Meanwhile, I am exerting effort to get away as far as possible from the doorway of sin. I think that is one of the test that we are being tested with time and again.

A realization at some point in my life told me that the golden rule is the guiding law for many, if not all, of us.

I do to others what I want them to do unto me.

So even if I desire to steal or whatever, I will first consider the possible implications of my action.

Usually, what they say that what we do comes right back to us is true for most instances.

Which leads us to the conclusion that we must do our utmost to be clear of desires unless it is for our own good. It follows that it is for the good of others. It's quite continuous.
