Someone asked me, how to control one's desires? Actually, desire is not the problem; everyone has it. Being controlled by desire is the problem. The real solution is not to suppress desire, but to build a long-term system where the weight of long-term goals outweighs short-term desires. When long-term value is strong enough, desire no longer determines your behavior, but is just a signal.
