Desire is Coming, It Breaks out Loud

Our common sense tells us that the cause of every evil is egoism, “the desire to receive pleasure for one’s own sake”, or simply “the desire to receive”. This passionate pursuit of one’s own well-being, called forth by “the desire to receive”, is the reason for harming one’s neighbor, because the desire to receive aspires to be fulfilled. When creation gains satisfaction in its own well-being, then no one in this world will harm his neighbor. In addition, if we occasionally encounter a creature that harms another for reasons other than “the desire to receive”, the only reason for that lies in the habit that originated in this desire.
