Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who do not have a rich inner life or actively engage in self-reflection are easily influenced and controlled by their external environment. Without a deep understanding of oneself, one may adopt the opinions, values, and behaviors of those around them without question. By having an inner life characterized by introspection, self-awareness, and personal growth, one can maintain a sense of individuality and autonomy, free from the sway of external pressures.

I don't know why people are afraid of lust. Then I can imagine that they are very afraid of me, for I have a great lust for everything. A lust for life, a lust for how the summer-heated street feels beneath my feet, a lust for the touch of another's skin on my skin...a lust for everything. I even lust after cake. Yes, I am very lusty and very scary.
