The Error of Desiring

Desiring has more consequences than what you think it has. If you don't wake up you are ensnared in this world.

 

 

 

What is the satisfaction of desiring?

Is the sense of good, pleasant

And does it meet the needs?

The first is the yes

The second is either.

 

Reality is gone.

For desiring at times

Meet no needs but brings one

To a fiction world.

This world consists one and the need itself;

Same is true as the drunk.

He is labeled a person but desires his drink

And is thus intoxicated and is most likely

Labeled an addict for life.

This addiction does not meet the needs of the drunk.

 

Reality is our reality

And there is no reality but what we make it,

Is the philosophy of this world.

The absolute truth is our truth

And desire than goes wrong,

 

For truth is than false.

So than, what is the satisfaction of desiring?

To please one self

But go to far and you are trapped

In this world.

Author's Note

Desiring is a dangerous thing. Don't indulge what can destroy you.

Reviews

[the tipsy writer]

This was a good read! As a partaker of several guilty pleasures myself, there is certainly a danger in partaking too much and this perfectly captures that sentiment.

Ah, well, thank-you for the review. This piece was published 11 years ago. I am glad it is still having an impact even if my writing has changed quite significantly.

It is a two edge sword. For instance, what if someone desires to help others. Is desire then a bad thing? It is all perspective as well. An interesting thought provoking piece. A few grammatical and spelling errors, but nothing that takes away from the meaning.
