Sometimes I rather feel wondered at my desires which are rather conflicting at the same time.
I might desire a piece of chocolate cake, but at the same time I desire that I didn't desire it. This capacity to reflect on our desires and to have "second-order" desires raises the issue of weakness of will .
Today there is a lot of work to do .Two new developments have been assigned, One object needs to be tested, and 10 calls need to be solved.
Although I have resolved all of the 10 calls today , but still a lot is pending to do. But my 1st order desire is stopping me :D
1st order desire: I desire to put off work to relax and rest today. (I don't want to work today.)
2nd order desire: I desire not to desire relaxing now because I have work that I intended to do. (I wish I wasn't so procrastinator today.)
These conflicts in our desire is very common.
During the lunch time my 1st order desire always suggest me to order that dessert, but at the same time I desire not to desire that dessert … :D
Although both these are raised by us , but surely I believe that the 1st desire usually depicts our true self, that depicts our free will.
And what about the second conflicting one ??
It surely raised from the beliefs and ideas we have formed till the date , it is that “Super Ego” which is the perfectionist.
