Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotio

Summary

This quote suggests that the actions and choices made by individuals are influenced by three fundamental factors: their desires, emotions, and the knowledge they possess. Desire plays a role in driving human behavior, as people are motivated by their wants and needs. Emotions, such as fear, joy, or anger, also impact behavior as they can influence decision-making and actions taken. Lastly, knowledge, including information, understanding, and experiences, guides human behavior by providing the necessary awareness and understanding to make informed decisions. This quote acknowledges that these three sources intertwine and shape human actions.

We are tiny flames, Helikaon, and we flicker alone in the great dark for no more than a heartbeat. When we strive for wealth, glory and fame, it is meaningless. The nations we fight for will one day cease to be. Even the mountains we gaze upon will crumble to dust. To truly live we must yearn for that which does not die.
