... A spiritual kind of hunger, the more we feed it, the hungrier we feel. Because we have been conditioned to respond to lack by feeding it, which works in the physical dimension, we intuitively extrapolate this "solution" to the inner void. We believe that the way to deal with all desires is to give in to them, to give them what they demand, and then they'll be satisfied and stop bothering us.However, the opposite is true. The more that you give in to certain desires, the more desire you feel. The more that you feed the fire, the bigger the fire rages.
Very nice. This is very much along the lines of a long, fundamental and amazing ohr hachaim on yaakov's brachia of reuven. Great post.
