" Desire makes everything blossom; possession makes everything wither and fade. "

Desire makes our body take the actions needed to fulfill the want. The energy of desire gives us the power to accomplish our goals and surpass the tough times in our life. But the power of possession can be dangerous and boost our ego. The higher position can bring us the feeling of superiority and sometimes it can make us misuse the power of authority.

The desire to be better will make everything blossom, but possession and authority will make everything dry in life.
