The futility of desire

 Ultimately, it is the desire, not the desired, that we love.

Friedrich Nietzsche

 

Unconditional love is unmovable, resting at the center of our being: whether our children do what we recommend, or whether she stays with us or not, we love whole-heartedly. We can never fulfill desire, we can only grasp its futility.
