Of Stars and Skies , and beyond them
The world I don't Know, I can't imagine, I don't feel,
Of whose existence I am n't even critical as I can't imagine,
Yet I Desire, I Desire, I Desire , I Desire, I Desire.
Desires , the word , may encomapss tho surge of human civillazation from the early stone ages to the world of Today's, jostling with Neo-libertarians , science freaks , pro-capitalist , Individualist , paganist , autodidacts, Fanatics,Uber Richs and yesh not to forget sexy legs. Coincidentally , they may vary from each other in a number of things , but there is something common in all of them , They all have desires.
So ,maybe I should keep myself on toes and should understand that I am writing about something enigmatic in its existence.
So, Is is true that our life is directed by our desires
(Sorry , My keyboard's question mark key is not working), Or Am i just getting fooled not realizing that desires don't direct our life but it's I who desire about my life?( Better sense prevailed , using CTRL C + CTRL V) I would first like to declare that the article is Insipired by two incidents , First , a article by one of my friend on desires and other , a Chit-chat in my office where my companions said there's is no spark in their life. I was quite confused , as truly speaking , i really don't wish for anything in life and life would be last place where i will expect sparks . Anyways , bringing sanity and shifting towards perceived notions of sense;
Where life and desire intermingle to give a sense of oneness or howsoever you want to contradict or accept the existence of the two terms? Let's talk about life first,
Life, as they say , an end in itself , the ultimate desire of life can only be diffusing because that's what it finally achieves.Quite fascinating , that's the greatest truth of life , and that implies that it becomes quite obvious that the truth will be run amok by everybody subjected to his or her own whim and fancies. One of the greatest guiles , an effect of above mentioned cause is the belief that a Perfect life is one devoid of any desires , or maybe on a little less precedented scales, life's aim is to effuse out from wordly desires to achieve eternal bliss, whatever. And yet what most have done , from pantheon to gaileleo, from aristotle to Ayn Rand , From Epicureus to Barrack Obama , We lived for our desires.
Why? The Big Y?
As they say in mathematics , to measure y , first find out its Xs, let's do some sight-seeing . First of all , death may be ultimate end of life , but the conscious being , of all things , he or she can expeperience death in most unaffecting way ,i.e, Death comes too late and leaves behind too little things to understand . And as any objectivist would claim , in his life , a conscious being experiences many "A" which he or she feels , relates or sometimes gets a high from them. So, maybe on the big shelfs of philosophy and metaphysaics , death is regarded in high esteems but among commoners, the situation becomes little skewed.
As , we got rid of death now , let's talk about other in fray. Quite unfortunately , most of us spend whole their life thinking the physical dimensions visible of any human being is the Human being himself. THe biggest mistake, as Man is more about the rational self presnt inside rather than a jaunt of muscles and bones visible from outside . The big story starts from here ,You can give a sense of man's physical existence by locating him but not to the one that lies inside, You can touch the physical self , but the sense of your touch will need approval from the one that lies inside , you can love a person but the feeling of being loved for him will arise from the one that lies inside the person , and as Paul coelho quite beautifully says in his book , "I'm not a body with a soul, I'm a soul that has a visible part called body". And as Obvious , Desires are the effect of the Man that lies Inside. Why? Because it's these desires which give the sense of existence to that Man which lies Inside. It's the desires which makes that man inside to wake up everyday and toil . And It's the achievement of those desire which give credence and belief about its existence to the Man which lies inside. It was written somewhere that Intellect decides the sacrifices for our desires , but then i think it also missed a point . Man is not a set of static parameters , To certain extent the physical self may be said as set of static parameters , But the Inner one is as Dynamic as much the word means. A dynamic being can't be fooled of his existence by physical sensations but seeing the existence in reality of his or her achievements and that's what desires do. In true objectivist way, they give sense of one's existence , which had been and always be the only meaning of life. Death was just a theological , spiritual or philosophical distraction implanted to creat a mechanical world. Because , the only fact is deads are having no life.
Now, we will bring in some sparkle into desires. We know that man is a set of dynamic parameters , which means desires can neither be a terminus a quo ( starting point ) nor teminus ad quem ( finsishing point ) in life . They should always correspond to the dynamic parameters at that time in life of a Man . Now, as you see these everchanging desires will keep on shining the inner man with its achievemnets giving a sense of continuous reflection of light , i.e, sparkle. That are sparkle of desires which hold within them the true essence of life , the heralding of Human being's fortitude, i.e, the sense of existence.
The sparkle of desires conveys that , the dynamic man , by his desires, ignites the fire of life and through their achivement brings sparkles in them .
These sparkle , time and again , make the man feel himself and that's what preaches us the ultimate end of life , i.e, Freedom , a Freedom to feel him self , freedom to realize his desires, freedom to curb his desires and a free state where he realizes that sparks are not an effects of brushes with outer world but a sense of everchanging, desirous , free mind which sometimes goes as far as this one,
