Inner vs. outer desire In the inside lies all that is true, namely our inner desire, our unconditional acceptance based on love for one another. However around the inside, lies the many many layers of other desires, be they libidinal, fear, anger, jealousy – the trick is to overcome the outer, for the inner, for nothing on the outside leads to happiness, though it leads to sadness, while the inside leads to hearts mirroring the love, hence happiness ensues.
