Most people's lives are driven by desire and fear.
Desire is the need to add something to yourself in order to feel yourself more fully.
And every fear is the fear of losing something, a loss because of which there is a danger of feeling unappreciated and of being smaller.
These two unconscious drives do not allow us to notice the fact that being, existence, cannot be given or taken away. In its fullness it is already within you.
