Beautiful story :)

We need more examples of this in our society, knowing that wont change ppls attitudes but seeing examples like this are a real inspiration.

Why would we want to temper desire?

I can understand certain situations calling for a level head but assuming we need or should temper our desire is like saying we should temper our emotions, in some situations that may be true but as a rule its pretty presumptuous and I think thats a flawed stance to take.

What we should be saying is desire, like emotions, has advantages and disadvantages, we should understand them better simply to become better people.

As for desire, rip off your clothes and make like bunnies on any close vertical surface, itll probably make your day better!
