Careful what you wish for

A wide horizon of possibilities and desires... as if pins of each were stuck into the sand on the surface of the water - just choose. One after another comes true, so simply and without your participation, but only because you sincerely wanted it.

But how stupid, since I understood, since I was convinced of this fact more than once, that I was not afraid and did not analyze. Yes, yes... be afraid of your desires - they can come true.

Like in that old joke: “An old man once caught a goldfish, and it said to him, “Let me go, old man! I will fulfill any wish of yours.” Well, the old man immediately responded, “A fish, a fish… I want to have everything.” “Okay, old man, you had everything”… and it swam away.” Giving up on something you once wanted is as shameful as not being responsible for your words. Only, even admitting a mistake doesn’t make it any easier. Complexes, phobias, and isolation are formed on this basis – you stop wanting. And this, as I wrote earlier, is the most important thing in real life.

It turns out that you need to approach any task and desire with your head... while you have it and while you are sober.
