00:00 So you can desire anything in the name of free will and that's sacrosanct, right?
00:04 You say, "Well, this is what I want. My truth is my truth. To each his own.
00:08 Who are you to interfere in my personal preferences?"
00:13 So desire is taken as an absolute.
00:15 You are neither supposed to ask yourself and certainly not others, why they desire what they do.
00:21 I will not ask whether the thing is actually worthy of desire.
00:26 I will not ask whether I really need to go after that thing.
00:30 I will not ask who am I and what is it that I really need.
00:33 Do I even need that thing?
00:35 These are taboo questions.
00:37 In the modern world, desire reigns supreme.
