The devil has also been known to tempt people with desires. What are desires? Are they sin? In a way, yes. Desires are felt as better than fear, but are fundamentally not different from fear. While fear is the response of lack of control, desires are a response to control, and in that they are different. However, control itself is sin; partial control that is. The idea that individual control is needed is a movement away from God and an embracement of the devil. Desires are very tricky. They point to something good that is always out of reach. When you feel good desires are not there. Only when you feel discontent in the moment desires appear. That is how clever the devil is. When your entire state of happiness depends on desires, you are trapped in the treadmill of a search. The writer is not only talking about a spiritual search but seach in general - the search for anything. The act of searching itself is not the problem - it is the search for happiness that is the problem. /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
