How Many Roads Must A Man Travel Before He Is/Called A Man?
A MAN must pass through three Gateways of Surrender. The first is the Surrender of Desire ; the second is the Surrender of Opinion ; the third is the Surrender of Self. Entering into meditation, he will commence to examine his desires, tracing them out in his mind, and following up their effects in his life and upon his character ; and he will quickly perceive that, without the renunciation of desire, a man remains a slave both to himself and to his surroundings and circumstances. Having discovered this, the first Gate, that of the Surrender of Desire, is entered. Passing through this Gate, he adopts a process of self-discipline which is the first step in the purification of the soul.
The spirit is strengthened and renewed by meditation upon spiritual things. The lamp of faith must be continually fed and assiduously trimmed.
Flying on the wings of God's breath.

This blog is a perfect example of abstract thinking. Abstracting thinking is another way of expressing stupidity.
No man can live a fruitful life with out having desire. When the metaphorical Jewish woman Eve eat the forbidden fruit Eve was expressing a desire for knowledge, that her eyes be open.
When the Children of Israel were in bondage and slavery in Egypt they had expressed a 430 year desire to be free.
When Dr. King marched on Washington he was expressing a desire for better for Black Americans.
Now, you are saying it is best we surrender our desire. Desire is one of the elements God instilled in humanity to keep humanity moving forward.
You are ignorant!
Abstracting is not thinking in a straight line.
