The hunt is sweeter than the kill

Common think, I want you to reach back into your minds and tell me, 'whats is that you fantasize about?' world peace? Do you fantasize about international fame? Do you fantasize about winning a Pulitzer Prize? Or a Nobel Price? An MTV Music Award? Do you fantasize about meeting some genius hunk, ostensibly bad but secretly simmering with noble passion and willing to sleep on wet spot?

Fantasies have to be unrealistic because the moment... the second... that you get what you seek, you don't, want it anymore. In order to continue to exist, desire must have its objects perceptually absent. It's not the 'it' that you want, its the passion of 'it'. So, desire supports crazy fantasies, this is what I mean, when I say that, we are only truly happy when day dreaming about future happiness. Or I say hunt is sweeter than the kill. Be careful what you wish for, not because you will get it but because you're doomed not to want it once you do.

So my lesson is, living by our wants will never make us happy. What it means to be fully human is to strive to live by ideas and ideals and not to measure our life by what we are attained in terms of our desires but those, small moments or integrity, compassion, rationality, even self scarifies. Because in the end, the only way that we can measure the significance of our lives is by valuing the lives of others.

ಮನುಷ್ಯ ಸದಾ ಯುದ್ಧಮಾಡುವ ತರಾತುರಿಯಲ್ಲಿರಬೇಕು. ಹೆಚ್ಚೆಂದರೆ ಯುದ್ಧಮಾಡಬೇಕು ಆದರೆ ಏನನ್ನೂ ಗೆಲ್ಲಬಾರದು. ಗೆದಿಯಬೇಕೆಂಬ ಹಂಬಲದ ಮುಂದೆ ಗೆದ್ದೆನೆಂಬ ಜಯ ಏನೂ ಅಲ್ಲ.
