Enchanting Freedom

Enchanting Freedom
I wish, but I must not. Each time I wish, I encounter frustration. I desire, but I must not. Each time I desire, I find suffering. I want, but what is really needed? Each time I want, I find there is more to be needed. I need, but who hungers for more? Each time I starve for justice; there is someone else struggling for more. In the midst of such [bloody] battle, I find that the less I need, the less I want, the less I desire, and the less I wish… The more I become because there is no more [I must], but enchanting freedom to explore.
Enchanting freedom is to be able to be aware of oneself. There is no “actual” right or wrong about how we define enough is enough, but the duty to become aware of that point in oneself widens the whole picture. It all depends on our consciousness and our ability to foresee consequences of our actions. How much is enough? How big is your picture?
