The only question that really matters.
What do i want?
I used to think that i wanted happiness, but happiness is not sustainable because it requires more happiness right after.
And so if you know what you want, then you don't know what you want. It's not until you realize that only by understanding that you don't know what you want is that you understand what you want. It's like virtue - unaware of itself. If you think you're being virtuous, you're not. Only if you don't know - you really are.
I don't know what i want. What does a tree, or a river, or a rock want?
