Anxiety and desire are two, often conflicting, orientations to the unknown. Both are tilted toward the future. Desire implies a willingness, or a need, to engage this unknown, while anxiety suggests a fear of it. Desire takes one out of oneself, into the possibility or relationship, but it also takes one deeper into oneself. Anxiety turns one back on oneself, but only onto the self that is already known. ↗

واذا كانت في الحياة مشقة ..فلأن قاطف الورود لابد ان تدمي يديه الأشواك..والطامع في ذرى اللانهاية لابد أن يكدح اليها..ولكن وصول العابد الى معرفة ربه وانكشاف الغطاء عن عينيه .ماأروعه! يقول الصوفي لابس الخرقة .."نحن في لذة لو عرفها الملوك لقاتلونا عليها بالسيوف ↗

Oh, I'm starting to cry again. That's what happens when you think about life being fair. And I can't explain why it isn't . . . I don't think it's something anybody knows. ↗

God knew our lives would be really bad sometimes. Like maybe we'd be turned into a monster and then our best friend would get killed. So he made up this story about hell, so we could always say, 'Well it could be worse. It could be hell.' And then we'd keep going. ↗
