Ma vie en violet a la vanille

 Je veux seulement des choses a la vanille. Et quelque temps j'oublie que je veux. Mais bien sûr seulement des choses a la vanille dans la couleur violet. De temps en temps c'est le plus facile d' oublier les choses qui je veux. Et voila, j'essaie d'écrit en Français. J'écris aujourd'hui, parce que je dois me mettre premièrement, si pas toujours, c'est nécessaire non? Je suis remercier les personnes qui m'aide, mais aujourd'hui, il faut que je me remercie aussi. Ma vie en violet a la vanille - peut être ça deviendra mon titre d'autobiographie.

Desire is so rooted in human workings. Makes me wonder is that what makes us human, the power of desire? Or is it only biological? Or are they both connected somehow. Biological desire - not sexual, but biologically rooted. Then perhaps sexual desire is a manifestation of the biological desire of the psyche and in some way fills in with the evolution of life on this planet.

Someone recently told me that "we, as species are never worse in terms of progress - it is only the way that our mind functions that we tend to think of nothing but inevitable doom and the lack of progress." How does desire tie in into this? Why am I rambling on about desire? Is desire a sign of progress? Can we then classify species based on how overtly they manifest desire?

Thinking about several of these things makes me also think of the wonderful and beautiful world around us and how we form a strong part of that world. We tend to ignore our own desires, just like purple is the least noticed colour on the spectrum of life. In being adults or evolving over time are we also becoming more desirous? And through that are we rooted in such a way that we do not become more desirous? Are we a purple race?

I would like to think so, that humans together form a purple race and the more ambitious and desirous you are - and the more aware you are of your own desires you would in some way invariably evolve.

Perhaps we should follow the airline policy and work towards focusing on what we desire and what we want before catering to the desires of others. Self-care is beneficial to the world, right? I am not advocating against service. I am merely saying, self-service first. We should extend Maslow's hierarchy chart in this and elaborate on that.

Look at history for example, the people we tend to remember first are the people who somehow embrace their desires and wants and ambitions. Do you think of "Alexander the Ambitious" or Alexander the Great? When we talk of Gandhi we talk of his movement of self-service and self-dependence. There may be countless other examples - and they may all show in some way purple human beings who accepted and embraced their desires.

I am going to leave you with this final thought, hoping that we become purple humans - more evolved and more capable of seeing our desires.
