Let’s think back to the tale of Tantalus. What was his curse exactly? Was it never-ending hunger and thirst? Not really. What would have happened to Tantalus if he had just stopped reaching? He was already in hell, after all, and dead people don’t need food and water, last time I checked.
WOW! He is chasing after a desire he doesn't actually need to fulfill. How often do we do the same?!?!
