"May you find what you are looking for"
That this was a curse was difficult to wrap my head around.
How can you curse someone by granting him all his heart desires?
With time and some observation, it got easier to accept that most men are desirous of their own downfall. In their pursuit to find what is GOOD to them, they pay more than they thought they would.
A story comes to mind of a very poor man who the gods gifted a genie to. The genie was to grant his every wish. all was good at first. He wanted simple things, the happiness of his family and himself. However greed started to kick in. This, once poor man became greedy and proud, wanting too much.
His end came however, when he which for a lot of money. His words in particular where
"I wish I was covered in more gold than 10 men can carry."
In granting him his wish, the genie covered him all up in liquid gold. Needless to say, he died.
The greed of man allows him to be the cause of his own downfall. In our pursuits in life, it is advisable that we should all be mindful and keep our greed in check.
