To say yes to all your desires is to say yes also to those that destroy you.

Objects to

Affirmation draws its strength from refusing nothing: it says yes to what moves through life, without judging it in the name of an external morality.
But not all desires uplift: some consume, obsession, jealousy, the never-slaked thirst to possess or to dominate. To affirm without sorting is to say yes to these too, and to leave them the life they ravage.
To tell the desire that enlarges life from the one that undoes it, one needs a criterion, hence an examination, hence the very sorting that affirmation claimed to dismiss.

Therefore So affirmation, if it is not to become the slave of its worst leanings, must borrow from the wisdom it refused: learning to choose among one's desires.

Deepenings

Are all desires equal?

himself does not say yes to just anything: he distinguishes the forces that affirm, generous and creative, from those born of and rancor against life.
But then affirmation is no longer blind: it too presupposes ranking desires, holding some nobler than others.
