The Stoic represses his desire

The Addict takes his momentary pleasure for infinite.

But the Mystic,
he directs his desire to the eternal.
He is the one who dances in step
with the love song the Lord is playing for us all.
The whole question of sexuality has been framed as sin. And we have seemingly split into 3 groups accordingly. We must have the courage to feel desire, and direct it toward something more than us.
