Frailty of desires…..

Desires are that which keeps one in relationship. All is just frivolous in that it is all about the senses being awaken and readily partakes in norms which keeps one within the realm of the superficial or worldly where what matters is enjoyment or seeking of happiness unlimited. Take the aspect of enjoyment and most are just contented rather begin to question the nature of the temporal in which they are and in some ways that may well explains away the average person’s view of being in the world. That is where everything is firmly rooted in the transient but where the subject feels it is all about a goal based on the deriving of pleasures full stop. As long as one derives joy one may carry on.Life is all about the search for happiness or running after pleasures and to a large extent that is verily the principle governing material living.
On this view life is about being immersed in desires unlimited. In some ways there is no underlying set goals but the tendency generally is to lead an existence merely wishing for life to take shape in a way which deny the opposite of pleasures. The irony is that try as much as one may, the opposites soon catches up since problems will surfaces and that is the nature of being in that nothing happens as per one’s wishes at least not in the mundane world or else we would have been all self satisfied. There are always other considerations which the non spurious takes note of whereas the naïve or most of us tends to live an existence as of life is about as per our desires. Indeed it is that aspect which in some ways makes the world its brute sense go by by in that there is the search for more and more of the same. Or so the brute will say. Is not life about having a good or a great time? So that is how it should be. And one moves along, the lack readily becoming apparent in that try as much as one may, the fall will arrive, forcing one to take note of it. There is no escape from it.
Even the most qualified by mundane standard often fall to the depth of absurdity when it comes to seeing or relating to others. Or learnedness or even scholarship serves little as the subject plunges to a low level at seeking and fulfilment of the the most basic instinctive of desires which is all about gratification of the senses. Even so, a chase, the chase goes on for ever when suddenly what comes face to face is the stark reality.
In spite of this, One therefore is submerged in that culture which calls on one regardless of who one is to seek at deriving benefits for that egotistic self. As long as the latter is satisfied in its superficialities, a feeling of satisfaction is felt and the subject feels relieved at either winning or at least having an upper hand.There is almost a right to feel that everything needs be as per the subject wishes again based on a way denial of existence to the other or others however much the latter may seek it to play it on the pre defined terms. One feels that winning is all about oneself whilst denying the other. That is the problem of the way of the superficial. Although having a clear aim, it fails to abide by its own rules. As long as the going is good and one is self satisfied, to be sure the participant will abide by the rules and the moment that it fails to reach a certain standard or where the other overtakes the subject all is left in disarray.
A vulgar mentality always never sees beyond itself. To be wise is to see that verily there is inherent problems in even the whole process of being. An awakening means to be able to see the frailty of being as it exposes itself or impose itself with the subject along with others merely succumbing to its ways which curbs oneself in surrender by espousal of a certain norm which essentially is no more than being reactionary in approach. In this vein, there is a feeling that one or that every other or others associated with oneself is of a different calibre and belonging to that class in the mould where all needs to succumb to its desires. And when facticity hits being, the subject falls flat and refuses to acknowledge that each and every other has a similar right to simply be.
That is the problem of the mundane in that there is always a lack so to speak and as soon as one realises that this is so, there is a movement on towards the non material where a genuine search begins. This is the point of the enquiry when one really searches in that one is never a complete other but a somehow needs to have a genuine starting point. The opposite is that one has an arrogant approach in that an impression is provided that the subject knows it all but albeit all is based on the mundane which one posits from the material and tries adding credibility to its ways. It would not do because it is all about a truncated form of being which seeks to dominate and project its vulgar ways. In spite of scholarship of the mundane way, negativism creeps it as we hinted above. Conceit and envy emerges and with this all sense of reaching out is lost. Rather one is no more than a crude element just seeking what is best for oneself whilst even denying respect which is fundamental to life lessons of being. Instead it is the ways of the brute or vulgar self which rises seeking to dominate and coerce others onto subjugation as of all else needs to halt by what has been pre-defined by a system which the subject abides by. One carries on willingly in the game as we observed earlier so long as there is no hindrance to the petty ego but as soon it is overtaken by any other, it fails to acknowledge its own lack as per the system which serves the actor in question.
So it is a question of being sensible of seeking a way which does not deny but acknowledges or that way which definitely not to deny but reach out onto the other and surely not to be arrogant but developing positive modes.The perennial question remains is this possible in the realm of the material or should one seek elsewhere? Or in populist terminology really it is about the million dollar Q….which takes one away from the nonsensical towards sensibility or rationality?
