A Major Fault.

I’ve often been struck by the fact that I have a particularly bad fault. The more I like something, the more dissatisfied I am because it isn’t enough. The higher I go (and I’m speaking metaphorically here,) the stronger is the urge to go higher. The better something tastes, the more frustrated I become because it doesn’t taste stronger.

This is not the way of the Tao, which I greatly admire. It’s a serious flaw.

As long as you don't act on it. Although maybe you should. Then you'll feel guilty and be less inclined to do it next time.

But is there an end to the universe, Maria, because that's what I'm trying to reach.

Ah. Well in that case your self indulgence can be put down to betterment of humankind/metaphysical knowledge.
