Give me MORE...

Desire according to me is the Individuals Biggest enemy. Desire has always been the Donnybrook. Desire to be a Actor, Entrepreneur etc..does it really help you achieve the actual stuff in reality? How is desire different from want and different from longing? I desire money, power, and fame. But what do I long for? I had a place to live, food to eat, and a family. I had, in a sense, everything a child needs, albeit lacking some social experience. My desire was to eat a full Dairy Milk chocolate, have a Faber Castell pencil, Parker Pen, to be a Sluggard and to have a Hot Girl Friend in school. This was the first part of my life. As I grew older, however, I became to be an aficionado to the ever-present and immortal influence of the word “more”. More space, more stuff, more money, more “as seen on TV”, more everything. Now, I’m not saying that more is bad. It is our nature to desire a comfortable and, if lucky, luxurious life. Desire is a craving - a craving for the physical. I desire anything and everything. I desire money and don't need to be numismatic for that. I desire power. I desire fame, businesses, and the world, even. The thing is, I desire because I am afraid. I am afraid of a less than comfortable life.Since starting to desire anything and everything, I have moved on to other things. I admit that my fear of life and desire for the physical were cultivated by media, Western culture, and the environments I lived in, in which everyone else had “more”.

Want is different from desire in that it is not necessarily associated with the physical. Want is what we often call “dreams” or “aspirations” - our “calling”; the subject of the want is often attainable. That is, if circumstances allow and one works hard enough. I’ve gone through several wants. I wanted to become a PILOT and even today i can say that in a vociferous voice. I wanted to start a business. These wants, however, are still tied to the physical desire of money and power, which is perfectly acceptable; many people aspire to become or do things that will improve their lives. What do I long for? The impossible. Longing is the desire, the want, the craving; it is what you find yourself seeking after you have attained everything you ever wanted and desired. I feel the longing deep within me - in my soul. Fly, swim, jump, fall, and fight. Not just as a human being, but as other animals, bugs, plants if you believe in such things. Be Latino, Black, White, Asian, your choice. You can stick with those if you want, though. As for me, I long for anything and everything. I long for the experience of indescribable joy, loneliness, and community. I long for travel across universes, time, and dimensions, discovery of other forms of life.

All said and done which may or may not be possible in this life time!! I just pray to god to fulfill this Longing or want or desire which is to fly a Fighter Plane............
