Wake up your fever dreaming. You want it. You want it badly. The promotion to win that higher office to get called up to buy that house, to sleep with that person, to have just one free punch at you know who.

You want it more than anything and by God you are going to get it. You're working. You're scheming. You're obsessed. Honestly what you're in is a fever dream. A delusion of drive and lust and want.

Epicurus, Senaq's old favorite had a way of shaking us out of that sleep. What will it actually be like to get what you want? He asked, how will you feel after?

He wanted you to think of the refractory period, the guilt after not just a few seconds of pleasure. He wanted you to think about all the other times you climbed this mountain or that one and how anticlimactic it was.

He wanted you to talk and think about other people who have done what you think is going to be so wonderful and really listen to their experiences.

Because what you find as the Stoics did when they looked at many drives and pleasures rationally is that like the facts of a dream it doesn't all add up. It's an illusion. It's based on false assumptions that crumble as soon as you open your eyes. So wake up.
