In Philo, i thought it was interesting the way he described desire as this insatiable act. Philo's virtue was for desire was temperance. As human beings we can never be truly satisfied and we are always looking for situations that might fill that void that is in ourselves. When we come to God, He fills that void but we often forget because desire creeps in like a virus that never leaves. Desire is like a wildfire sometimes cannot be controlled and we have to practice at it to get rid of all those bad desires in our life. It makes me question why God would design humans to be prone to desires? He did give us free will but it feels like he basically gave us sin on a platter and told us not to eat of it.
PS i commented on reason vs revelation
