Aphorism #189 Utilise Another's Wants.

The greater his wants the greater the turn of the screw. Philosophers say privation is non-existent, statesmen say it is all-embracing, and they are right. Many make ladders to attain their ends out of wants of others. They make use of the opportunity and tantalise the appetite by pointing out the difficulty of satisfaction. The energy of desire promises more than the inertia of possession. The passion of desire increases with every increase of opposition. It is a subtle point to satisfy the desire and yet preserve the dependence.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?d=yIl2AUoC8zA (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?a=VWpP7WI6Mf4:Ixdl93JZvfk:yIl2A UoC8zA) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?d=qj6IDK7rITs (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtOfWorldlyWisdom?a=VWpP7WI6Mf4:Ixdl93JZvfk:qj6ID K7rITs)

If it is true that privation is all-embrasing, then it is also true that the dependence is eternal. It is not the dependence that one should tackle in order to eliminate it. That is impossible. What can be provided is appropriate handling of the situation in human terms. That's a large part of the democratization process.
