雙語(yǔ)智慧書·利用他人的欲望

189．利用他人的欲望
　　利用他人的欲望。人越是有欲望，就越容易受控制。哲學(xué)家說(shuō)"缺失"是什么都沒(méi)有；政治家說(shuō)"缺失"就是應(yīng)有盡有--他們說(shuō)的都有道理。許多人利用他人的欲望作為達(dá)到自己目的之階梯。他們利用這種機(jī)會(huì)指出滿足其欲望是如何之難，由此激起他人的興趣?？释a(chǎn)生的干勁比擁有所產(chǎn)生的懶惰更有用處。阻力越大，渴望就越強(qiáng)烈。精妙之處在于：滿足別人的渴望，同時(shí)，還維持他對(duì)你的依賴。


189．Utilize another's wants
　Utilize 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 tantalize 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.
