Part 2: The Overcoming of Life’s Difficulties

The true object of life is that man may attain wisdom through experience. This cannot be accomplished by giving in to the difficulties of life, but only by overcoming them.

Part 6: The Power of Desire

What is Desire? Let us see! Webster tells us that it is: “The natural longing to possess any seeming good; eager wish to obtain or enjoy,” or in its abnormal or degenerate sense: “excessive or morbid longing; lust; appetite.” “Desire” is a much-abused term – the public mind has largely identified it with its abnormal [...]
