Desire

Desire is the mind’s promise that fulfilment lies somewhere beyond the present moment.

Desire What keeps desire hungry, even after it is fulfilled? I have noticed something strange about myself. The anticipation of getting what I want often excites me more than actually having it. Once I get it, the thrill fades, and I need a new desire to feel alive. Sometimes, having nothing to chase makes me restless. Have I become so addicted to wanting that I no longer know how to enjoy having? Am I chasing things, or am I addicted to the chase itself?
Sexuality Why Does Sex Occupy the Mind Even When the Body Is Silent? Why does sex occupy so much space in my mind, even when my body has no physical need for it? I find myself returning to sexual fantasies, thoughts, and desires even when I am busy with other things. Sometimes I feel guilty about these thoughts, and at other times I wonder why something so natural has become such a powerful mental preoccupation. Is this the result of repression, conditioning, or simply the restless nature of the mind?
