I have I desire to live, but it only really comes out when I'm hypomanic. I want to achieve anything and everything. What I still want to achieve afterwards is probably true desire. I just don't desire it enough to do, so I do not.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
