Desire

Desire is its own answer, because it’s healing. Desire in the sense of feeling--the opposite of desensitization, anomie, indifference, apathy—because desire is natural. Now you might not be able to satisfy it, but the recognition of the desire is in itself a virtue. Like thought is natural to the mind, desire is natural to the heart.
-Allen Ginsberg
