| BkII:1.II.2 | Identical to the desire to possess is the desire to control, an exhausting task akin to trying to catch the wind with your hands—a task that cannot but engender fear because it is to seek and never find. Similarly, the desire to possess evokes fear in two different ways: On the one hand you experience the impossibility of true possession; and on the other, the purpose behind the desire to possess cannot be satisfied by the object of possession. |
