Reply to comment by Cradled_In_Space in Schopenhauer and the insatiable will to live | To reduce suffering and forge a better world we must resist desire and our metaphysical individualism. by IAI_Admin

Resisting inordinate desire is the better translation. To resist hankering over things, or getting hung up about something.

But like you alluded, you can also get too caught up in resistance to desires, which is why they always say to take the middle way, the way of moderation- not too much, not too little.
