knowing and desiring
Knowing and desiring are supposed to be one, not two things in me. Complete, constant harmony of the two to the fullest degree to which they are possible within me, unity of both in purpose and object – that is humanity, that is the final goal that is hidden within human nature. The first stipulation I assign to life is to deliver not only objects that engage each power individually but also those wherein this harmony of knowing and desiring can be revealed and those whereby this harmony can be promoted.
