To start me of I have found a few quotes to explain to the world and then pretty much bitch about to my heart's content. Nothing new, right?
“The desire of the man is for the woman, but the desire of the woman is for the desire of the man.”
Madame de Stael
What do we take this to mean? Amy's belief: most men think with their penis and most women want them too. Why does it mean this? Well, for the men it's just the disposition of their brain and restricted blood flow. For women it is something more sinister and degrading. Even if the idea of a guy checking you out is pretty wicked. Women are teases and we know it. We are conceited and we want to feel as though the whole world is in love with us. Sometimes it's a self-esteem issue. Other times we just really like the attention. It's disgusting. Women complain about how perverse guys are and then lean over a little further so they can get a better view. If you ask them if they would sleep with a celebrity they'd probably say no, they aren't that kind of girl. If you tell them they'd get a million dollars, they'd jump at the chance.
I digress...I am not supposed to be having an I Hate Women rant, just a rant on Desire.
“We always long for the forbidden things, and desire what is denied us.”
rashaski Francois Rabelais (another French Fry)
What does it mean? We want what we can't have, especially if we get told we can't have it. Why? Because people are stupid. The stupid thing about people is that we want what we should not have or do not have. When we are rejected and denied something, the longing for it burns more. We are willing to starve ourselves, never to sleep in the hopes of finding a way to obtain what is not there to call ours. It seems as though we are fighting to steal an ethereal possesion that is not ours.
"It sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its own opportunities, but its own talents."
Eric Hoffer
He say what? From desire we are given opportunities to obtain what we want and the things we sometimes do can surprise us. But whyyyyy? Well, I guess it's because people tend to go to great lengths for things they desire. It's like there is a big fire burning in your chest and the only water you can find is sitting side by side with what you truly want. What pisses me off about this quote? People don't seem to be able to recognise these talents they possess without wanting something first. Talent is a gift and a fabulous opportunity, not the sidekick of 'I WANT, I WANT'ing. What we are able to do should be discovered for the pleasure of it and not a means to an end.
I hate desire. It hurts people and makes them do stupid things. It's worse when desire doesn't work out for you. It hurts more and begets a vicious cycle of pain and destruction.
