"Want" - What Do You Want?

“Want shall be your master.” When I think deeply on this, I instantly internalize a deeper meaning—a meaning that demands investigation. Want is a word that implies lack and places want-satisfaction in the future if I allow it to own me. There is nothing wrong in wanting anything; want is a necessary part of life, an emotional mixture of enthusiasm and motivation. It is when I allow want to become my master, I make everything beholden to it. If everything in my life is beholden to it, want remains in the future. Since the future does not exist except within my idea about it, what I want becomes a vaporous prison.
