When you do not get what you want

Have you observed what happens to you when you are denied a little pleasure? When you don't get what you want you become anxious, envious, hateful. Have you noticed when you have been denied the pleasure of drinking or smoking or sex or whatever it is-have you noticed the battles you go through? And all that is a form of fear, isn't it? You are afraid of not getting what you want or of losing what you have. When some particular faith or ideology which you have held for years is shaken or torn away from you by logic or life, aren't you afraid of standing alone?

I've become used to not getting what I want - and that isn't fearful anymore but I am currently working on the fear of losing what I have. Standing alone in my end days doesn't sound very fun either.. That worries me.
