Tantalus’ curse was his blindness to the fact he didn’t need those things in the first place. That’s the real moral of the story. Tantalus’ curse is also our curse. We are compelled to reach for things we supposedly need but really don’t. We don’t need to check our email right this second; we don’t need to give in to some other distraction, no matter how much we feel we must.
Esto, una y mil veces. Tántalo ya está muerto, no necesita comer ni beber, no puede morir de hambre y sed, ahí está el castigo, en padecer sin morir. No se da cuenta de que la forma de ganar el juego es no jugar.
