What Do You Want?



"It is part of the cure to wish to be cured."




Lucius Annaeus Seneca
1st century BC Roman philosopher/playwright

If you are sick, believing you can be well again does much to help you regain your health.

Likewise being willing to accept views counter to yours will help you do whatever is best, regardless of whose idea it is.

You have to want what is right rather than want to be right.

  1. that is sooo hard to do

    i know very few people, myself included, who are as open to new thinking as we should be

    "wish to be cured"? wish for the truth

  2. I'd rather get what I want as opposed to getting what is "right", whatever that is.
