The Master Do you not know, distracted adept, that your libido is your worst liability? It works forever against your interests, to the detriment of your well-being. Why, then, do you insist on viewing it as some kind of ally? By what lapsed logic do you reach such a conclusion? Your libido actively commits treason against you. In a sense, it is cunning in this regard. It makes every effort to bring you low, to cause you pain, humiliation, and embarrassment. If it were a sentient being, its soul would be malicious to its very core. Yet beneath this base cunning in fact dwells a mere beast, albeit a spiteful one. It is a beast which wishes to be fed, which thrives on satiation, and is forever addicted to validation.
