Description

Desires stem from our aspirations and the imagination of what we can be or achieve. However, an unbridled imagination, freed of all fetters and restraints invites the risk of being mired with the coincidental, dissensions and personal motives. The result is an unhealthy obsession that can only consume and control the person with deleterious effect.

Desires and ambitions are inherent in humans and it takes much to quench and make content. While there is nothing wrong in seeking success, the quest for achievement should be under girded by wisdom and supported by strong moral values so as not to cause harm.

If a man is likened to a magic lamp; the genie inside the lamp would be his heart. The goodness of a humble heart will lead him to achieve success for a cause greater than himself. Adversely, a man’s heart overcome by greed would only breed a deceitful and narcissistic character that could lower his integrity and sabotage his closest relationships in the name of success.

Once you steer yourself away from the burdensome genie of ambitions and greed, you will realize that true happiness and contentment has always been found apart from selfish desires. The Magic Lamp 神灯 was launched in 2014.
