    Desire & Fear: Two Basics of Human..

    I observed two basics of human characteristics which guide them to behave.

    One is Desire and,
    Another one is Fear.


    What do you think?

    I think that a person should be guided by compassion. 'nuff said

    You forget selfishness, that's the major one. Self preservation rocks.

    Desire is because of craving. Fear is in losing what is desired. Most of us must live with both.
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }

    I guess, selfishness comes from Desire.

    You got my point. That's how I have observed.

    What happens when you desire fear?

    Then of course that is not fear.
