WITH DESIRE
What is the calamitous effect of achieving what we desire? What happens in the aftermath of actually getting what we ‘want’? Are we ever satisfied? Is satisfaction what we are after? Or is it the pursuit that we desire? In the process of achieving satisfaction, what are we obliterating? Maybe we don’t know what we want, and is that so… terrible? Or is it that we can’t get it, and if we do, we don’t want it anymore. Why is there so much pain in not having… not filling… not naming… dreading?
