Wisdom & Desire

Story

When Desire and Wisdom met Destiny for Dinner, Desire said: “You think I`m a sinner, but IÂŽll be the winner. I`m in love with Passion and Fortune and Fame – dear Wisdom, but you seem so lame! I always feel higher, ÂŽcause I am Desire.”

Wisdom just sat there in silence (like those who are living on lonely islands).

Desire had a new expectation (and talked a lot about vacation and travelling to another nation).

After a while, Wisdom said with a cryptic smile: “So you want to see exciting places as well as new faces. But I wonder, if you know how to go with the flow 
 ”

“All I want is everything, ®cause I®m born to be Queen or King!” (Desire always had great expectations, which usually caused wild complications).

Wisdom was nice and gave good advice: “For some reason, to everything there is a season. Look at the moon, it will change soon. Look at everything you can find inside your mind. The future is still unknown – this much I have shown. First stop worrying, then stop hurrying.”

Desire did not want to know: “Oh, let me mention my intention. I want the world to be my stage, in history I want my page! One day, this planet will be safe, just because I was so brave.”

“Every moment you can make a new start by listening to your heart. But the imagination of a specific expectation is a tool which is only used by a fool – so your pain will remain. Every passion is nothing but a crazy fashion until you feel love and deep compassion.”

“This cannot be my way – have a nice day! I`m under pressure, I have to search for a treasure”, Desire said, and wanted to go (not slow!).

“Oh Desire, donÂŽt you know that teamwork makes the dream work? If you and Wisdom could only work together – I`m sure, this world would be much better”, was DestinyÂŽs quest for the desirable guest.
