Desire
James 4:1-3
From where come wars and fights among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?…


Desires increase with acquisition; every step a man advances brings something within his view which he did not see before, and which, as soon as he sees it he begins to want. Where necessity ends, curiosity begins; and no sooner are we supplied with everything that nature can demand than we contrive artificial appetites.

(Dr. Johnson,.)
