Is this true?

I tend to want what I don't think I can have. ALWAYS. This is my problem and I just got the biggest urge to research it. Some wise person had this theory:

That which you cannot control, controls you. The human mind seeks power and control. If you don't have the power or control over an object the mind relates to that object/person as a superior being, putting this person/object onto a pedestal. Lust therefore comes as a result of this pedestal system which your mind has created. However all minds work alike, it is natural survival instinct
