The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Thus Spake Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche: desire--that is the Will's lonesomest tribulation.
Willing emancipateth: what doth Willing itself devise in order to get free
from its tribulation and mock at its prison?
Ah, a fool becometh every prisoner! Foolishly delivereth itself also the
imprisoned Will.
That time doth not run backward--that is its animosity: "That which was":
so is the stone which it cannot roll called.
And thus doth it roll stones out of animosity and ill-humour, and taketh
revenge on whatever doth not, like it, feel rage and ill-humour.
Thus did the Will, the emancipator, become a torturer; and on all that is
capable of suffering it taketh revenge, because it cannot go backward.
