Life

Some think life is biological,
the action and reaction of cells.
some think life is how we act,
what we do, how we think,
what would tend to happen to us
if such and such were to occur;
Many say experience
or existential truths;
but it is one thing
in my humble interpretation,
lacking knowledge
of all the above,
simply but truly
of my existence:
it is desire
and its gratification:
creating desires to
yearn for, to want
to fulfill, and we live
our lives striving
to attain our goals,
our desires,
believing their fulfillment
will be our ultimate pleasure.
Gratification is bliss,
if only for one moment,
one fleeting instant,
before desire once again
takes over and
the same
occurs again.

Human history, individual and that of the state, mimics this exact pattern, until something new is wanted, the attainment of which the system will not allow. Dreams can come true, but most often they remains dreams. This is not to say that eventually, let us retain hope, they will not come true. But it is equally as possible that as we will never be content with what we have we may want to revert to a system that we previously had and wanted to escape from. This is the circular motion that desire takes, but it will take generations and generations for this to occur. But hopefully we have this time.
